How can all sectors of a community benefit from eachother through sustainability??
translated:
What in nature benefits from each other?? What is the cycle?
Solution*
In nature a forest ecosystem energy can only enter through plants, these plants we call the autotrophs, they range from the trees to the lettuce on our plate. These plants keep all living things alive. Animals like us eat deer that eat the plants and we all benefit. Our waste is then decompsed by bacteria, parasites, invertebrates, mushrooms . These decomposers give back to the autotrophs through the nutrients they release to the soil and the waste from the plants set off bacteria and mushrooms. Throughout this whole process this energy is giving off respiration of oxygen and carbohydrates.
'Energy in a ecosystem cannot be recycled it must constantly be renewed.'
The picture above is what I got from nature, translated. The tree like the sugar maple is my building, the programming is organized like photosynthesis. Whatever 'organic matter' the building gives: ideas, programs, classes, lectures, exhibit will influence the people, the 'heterotrphs'. Our 'waste' from being influenced will then be decomposed by the sectors of society, the elements that will drive sustainable development into the future. Throughout this whole process respiration happens this giving off to the rest of the city and world that Liberty Village or any other communtiy is aware and involved in the process of development and perhaps they will be an example.
This cycle is in the works.......to be cont'd
