The Sage Projects - Urban Ecovillages to Zeitgeist



Introduction:
Are you getting more than $10 of value from TSP? Please consider joining our growing community of supporters at our facebook page and bookstore, which will be growing and expanding. For those searching for local cohousing, type 'cohousing' into the search.

We are working hard every day to provide different methods, ideas, and knowledge in support of sustainable living with the goal of supporting a healthy planet. Instead of simply asking for your support with donations, we've developed a bookstore to allow our readers to support what we do and allow us to give you back something in return. We believe in sharing knowledge that benefits people in holistic, healthy, and positive ways and paying it forward. You can help contribute directly to our content, and join our growing community of supporters who have directly influenced what we've been able to accomplish and where we're headed. Find out how you can get involved by scrolling down to the "Action List".

Freedom: Many people would like to have more freedom and a more flexible lifestyle. Having the option of living in many different places where the cost of living is low and there are no long term leases can provide that. Our research, design, and development is complete. We have several home and garden designs ready and have tested many food production and clean energy methods.

Next we are working on fundraising to cover land costs. In this way, we remove the risk of being controlled by banks and can keep our cost of living low. We owned a Green Design apartment building for many years and decided we would rather put our time and energy into urban ecovillage projects where we can use what we have learned to manage continued growth and create the largest benefits for the largest amount of people. Based on our research and testing of traditional, native, and contemporary methods, we have successful gardens that require no weeding, and have automatic watering and natural chemical free pest control.

Based on years of experience, we developed a sustainable future plan that you can read about in our history section. After the first ecovillage is complete we will continue working on growth, education, and expansion while our wide community of supporters grows. This may take time, but we are in no hurry. Our purpose and goals are long term healthy sustainability for people and the planet. Our projects will grow as more people become interested and take action to get involved. The larger we become, the more we can be self supporting with our own income producing clean energy systems and educational workshops. We have years of education and experience in various areas of sustainable living such as Green Design, Permaculture, Property Management, Intentional Community Management, and Clean Energy systems.

How: We are interesting in continued growth and expansion and not just working as a small group. You can join us and help by picking up a book at the bookstore for the cost of just one cup of coffee.

Welcome: Sustainable living can be simple and affordable when you know how and know how to avoid the pitfalls and trappings of modern life and mainstream media. Even though survival today requires income, we are more interested in a not for profit system. Only together can we make a difference. Welcome to The Sage Projects: changing the world by empowering environmentally conscious citizens with the resources they need to implement innovative processes and programs to restore the economic, environmental, social health, and vitality of their communities. We strive to provide healthy living spaces made of responsibly sourced materials, a low cost of living, eco-friendly jobs, and a social atmosphere of freedom and like minded individuals similar to what you may find at a local burn.

Why: Collaboration and communication is needed by everyone who seeks a better world. It is fear and ignorance that separates us. We say just let it go, and reach out to everyone for a better world. Based on our experience living in co-housing, volunteering at ecovillages, and our professional experience in renovating rental property with Green Design features, we have the skills and know-how. First we searched to see if there was a group like this we could join. We have noticed that no one else is doing this in urban locations, but many are talking about it. There are some good attempts out there, but we see they are charging market rate rents and have limited or no organic gardens and usually lack common spaces for group events.

Keep reading for more details and be sure to read the section "Action List".

Rentals: If you have found our site from a rental ad. We sometimes provide consulting and marketing for sustainable properties. We are interested in future residents who have taken time to learn about sustainability. We have provided videos on our facebook page. For more information on rentals contact us at our email address in the Action List section. To search for cohousing options currently in your area search using the word 'cohousing'.

Funding the 1%: Would you rather use your everyday basic living expenses to help support sustainable ecovillages while having a low cost of high quality living? Or do you want to continue living the traditional method where most of your rent or mortgage payment becomes income profits to wealthy bank owners? Tired of funding the 1%? Would you rather be able to have savings for your own interests rather than giving most of it to people who are already extremely wealthy and may not have our best interests in mind? We have a plan for a more independent sustainable way of life, but we need to work together as a large group in order to make it possible.

Revolution: Building a sustainable economy must begin with a worldwide revolution, since entrenched power structures will resist change that they may perceive as threatening. Revolution does not imply violence, but it does imply a consensus among a critical mass of Earth’s population on the essential principles of the emerging paradigm. Building this consensus through clear elaboration and propagation of these principles through education is the first step. Every person born on Earth is an equal co-heir of Earth. Voluntary cooperation for mutual benefits is the most efficient and satisfactory basis for all economic and social relations.

By working on these projects, we have nothing to lose and everthing to gain. The more research and study we do, the more we learn about sustainable living. Everything we learn improves our quality of life. Are you an Angel Investor? Can you spare five minutes to help us create sustainable living ecovillages? The Sage Projects sustainable communities urban ecovillages connects citizens with the resources they need. We also provide education, advising, and marketing for property owners who would like to provide sustainable living spaces. If you are looking to search for sustainability focused co-housing spaces currently in your area, search using the keyword 'cohousing'.

Angel Investors: If you are an Angel Investor who is able to contribute funds for land or provide land by dontation, we are currently looking to obtain land of two or more acres in an urban location or on the perimeter of one. Contact us by email if this is something you are interested in doing. thesageprojects@gmail dot com. So far we have not found what we need in our price range until we have more funding. We are currently experimenting with crowd funding and micro-funding.

The earth has had life for over 700 million years. From the time man invented the airplane to the time the first nuclear bomb was dropped on a city was only fifty years. Our technological development has gotten way ahead of our social and spiritual development. We have become dangerous to ourselves and others and to the biosphere of the earth. All of this is unnecessary. Its time to work together for the common good.

After managing rentals and updating them with green design features and solar systems, years of research and study, labor and experimentation, we have a plan for change, a way to do it, and people with professional skills in construction, Green Design, permaculture gardening, and sustainable community management. We believe that when you have a positive attitude and strive to give your best effort, eventually you may overcome your immediate problems and find more happiness and peace. A river cuts through rock, not by force, but by persistence. We are working to provide an organization where people have the space and time to work together for sustainable living while feeling supported and organizing the resources and skills we need to continue to grow and evolve long-term.

Low Costs: One of our main features is to have low cost living so that people have time to have a life and explore their interests. The main reason why we are doing the fundraising to get the first project going is so that our projects do not use bank loans for land and building materials. In most real estate loans, most of your money is "interest payments". Interest payments are profits for wealthy bank owners with luxury lifestyles. We cannot have our hard earned money going toward interest payments if we are going to have a low cost of living. By combining high quality organic gardening with off grid energy and chemical free living spaces, we can work together to have a more healthy higher quality of life. By using a not for profit financial structure, we can have a low cost of living with low rents while still saving funds for growing more projects.

People who support the ideas of a long term sustainable planet and a resource based economy believe in sharing skills, new technology, ancient knowlege, folk wisdom, and resources for the benefit of everyone rather than our current system where a very small group of people are hording most of the planet's resources and information. Living in a sustainable balanced way, we are more in harmony with nature rather than causing harm and pollution while providing the space, time, and learning opportunities for people to get the most out of life while also giving back. This is a group project where people want to work together with a large community of supporters who have similar values. We are not going to be doing this all on our own, other than setting up the format for it to happen and then helping to manage and share skills and knowledge as we all grow together.

People talk about the problems of the world, but are sometimes confused about what we can do about it. What seems to be lacking is strategic thinking and a system of sharing knowledge of what really works. Many of us would like to have an off-grid sustainably designed home and garden, but cannot afford it because of the rising cost of homes, rentals, and loss of jobs overseas; however, working together as a group we believe we can accomplish that opportunity and keep it long-term.

We have developed a plan for sustainable living urban ecovillage spaces and a plan for funding them. People can start to take action through helping with micro-funding the first project. After the first project is set up we be able to include income from workshops and clean energy production. Scroll down to our ACTION LIST to find out what you can do now.

Environment: Many people do not want to live in a way that causes more pollution and harm to the environment. There are alot of people talking about sustainability, but why has construction not started that uses these new systems? We have developed a plan for sustainable living urban ecovillage spaces and a plan for funding them so that people can start to take action and get involved.

Our purpose is to provide space and time for people to work with off-grid systems, organic gardens, and new long-term sustainable technologies as shown in The Venus Project and Zeitgeist Movies. You can view those on our facebook page through the link above. These projects are dependent on how many people are interested in getting involved. After visiting ecovillages, and experimenting with different types of gardening, permaculture, and off-grid energy systems, we have learned what works and what does'nt and why, which is very valuable for living sustainably and organizing ecovillages in a way that we can provide funding for other projects and still have a low cost of living at the same time. But in the beginning there are start up expenses for materials, equipment, and land that we are working on funding and need help in that effort.

We have found several great locations already that are perfect for our goals. There are a few simple actions you can take in the Action List down below. Our first project will be a feasibilty study to refine and organize based on how many supporters we have. The start of the first project includes micro-funding through the sales of books and contributions from sponsors. The next projects will build upon our experience and include income from workshops and clean energy systems.

Structure and Feasibility: We will change and learn as we grow and evolve. Our wide community of supporters will need to take action with us and we have provided simple ways for everyone to do that. We are providing the structure for people to get together and organize skills and resources. The benefits of these communities are: living sustainably, a much lower cost of living, freedom to move with no longterm leases, living with neighbors who share similar values, high production organic gardens, and a studio space for yoga and workshops. We would like to see clean energy Green Design living spaces with organic gardens and grow domes with a low cost of living while also providing some funding for more projects. Keep reading to find out how we can do that.

Another benefit will be jobs for residents who do construction and hold workshops. A portion of the income from workshops may be used for additional funding. Some ecovillage residents can be self employed and work at home teaching. Visitors will be able to come and actually see what is working. Workshops can provide education on subjects such as sustainable building, permaculture, electric car conversions, fuel cell vehicles, fuel cell home heaters, aquaponics, and off-grid energy systems by actually viewing working systems. The studio space can also be used for yoga classes and retreats. After eight years of updating living spaces with eco-friendly features at our past rental property, visiting ecovillages, and experimenting with different types of gardening, we have learned what works and what does'nt and why, which is very valuable for living sustainably. We have provided some of this information in our bookstore HERE.

The Sage Projects are urban and rural ecovillage projects of sustainable communities with longterm goals founded on the fact that we can co-create a higher and more satisfying quality of life together working as a group than we can do as individuals by sharing skills and resources while living in a way that we are not being used to make profits for large corporations and banks.

Education: You may or may not be aware of it, but every time you turn on a lightbulb or watch tv, your polluting the environment. The more electricity you use, the more coal, fossil fuels, or nuclear fuel is burned at the local power plant to create that electricity. The fuel burned at the local power plant adds more pollution to our air and water, unless that electricity is from hydro-electric, wind farms, geothermal, or solar.

Your Money: Would you rather see most of your rent or house payment turned into profits for very weatlthy bank owners? Or would you like to see it go into sustainable communities that work to stop polluting the planet. We have a plan to get the first project going through micro-funding of book sales and contributions from sponsors. Once the first project is running, we will be able to include other income from workshops and clean energy production.

We have been saving personal funds for materials, tools, and equipment, but we need support from a wide community of supporters for land costs of the first project. We want this to be a long-term evolving system of a large number of projects with a large number of people who share similar values. Its an ambitious goal, but the real goal is for us to learn to live sustainably in balance with a healthy planet.

Vision: We would like to see sustainable urban and rural ecovillages around the world where people can choose to live with neighbors who have similar values. Our projects consist of small zen style Green Design living spaces that combine the latest high tech off grid energy systems with responsibly sourced building materials. By incorporating off-grid energy systems, passive solar design, grow domes, and organic gardens, we can lower our living expenses while not producing pollution and harm to the planet. We know its possible from staying at other ecovillages, but they are very rural and most people need to be near larger cities for work, school, and transportation.

So far our fundraising plan consists of selling some amazing books. sustainable living and holistic health with proceeds going toward the funding of the projects. If you have a mortgage or pay rent at an apartment complex, a large portion of your money is profits into the pockets of very wealthy owners of large corporations. You may want to consider a different choice and support sustainable living instead. And if you have other ideas that work regarding fundraising, please send us an email: thesageprojects@gmail dot com. Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.

Awake and Aware, Caretakers of Earth: Some say that we are in a time of choice. And that we have a choice as to which way humanity is going to continue. And how in this particular time, we have the ability to change anything that may be in our path. We, as a people, have the ability to change the course of how much destruction there may be, and we also have the ability to change the thinking of man, and through that we have the ability to change the way we live. In a great gathering, we can obtain knowledge of a unity of man for a brighter future.

The mission of The Sage Projects is to speed the transition to a more sustainable way of life by using renewable energy, high-tech and low-tech off-grid systems, grow domes, green design low cost healthy living spaces, and offering educational workshops demonstrating sustainable living, green building, and off-grid energy techniques to help stop air, soil, and water pollution.

Our current socioeconomic system has a number of serious flaws, which all have their roots in the fact that we try and maintain exponential growth using finite resources. No system can sustain such growth and it will either change to something else or it will collapse. Collapse doesn’t represent a viable alternative as we are less likely to end up with a higher quality of life in a sustainable and high tech civilisation if we lived in the ruins of our current socioeconomic system. We need to stop the hording of new technology and resources. Change can work to our advantage if the change goes toward creating a sustainable socioeconomic system. Our current system drives the system to maximise profits here and now rather than thinking of the long term sustainable healthy balance we could achieve.

Stepping stones: The idea of stepping stones mirrors Marshall Savage’s ideas but here we start small. We build on a small scale something that we can achieve. We have grand plans but nothing breeds success like success. Through building a small project and getting it working we hope to use it as a stepping stone to a larger project, which in turn would form the foundation to larger projects and so on until we have a sustainable society that works.

We will first build a grow dome, residential buildings, several vertical food production gardens, and a studio space to be used for educational workshops, art, and yoga. A grow dome is a type of green house in the form of a geodesic dome that is automatically climate controlled where we grow plants using aquaponics year-round. We already know grow domes are successful and we have had our own vertical gardens successfully up and running. Building one dome gives us a realistic target and from one dome we would then progress to building more. We would continue on to building an eco-village.

We have been working hard the last few years learning permaculture, building off-grid alternative power systems, and experimenting with vertical food gardens to learn what works and what does'nt. Our start-up research and planning is complete and systems will change with new technology through time. We are here to share our professional skills and knowledge with those who are interested in sustainable living and expanding with a wide community of supporters.

The cost of living regarding fuel, food, and housing has doubled in recent years while the salaries of corporate executives has more than quadrupled. The promise of the industrial revolution was that citizens would have more free time and a lower cost of living. That has only happened for wealthy owners of large corporations for the most part. If you believe that is an unfair hording of resources, then keep reading and join us in our efforts to have a more simple, more sustainable, higher quality of life for all people and the planet.

WHO: For those who wish to help the world be more sustainable and healthy while having more free time to do what you love, we will be offering short term living spaces month to month and a guest unit availably daily. In time, we plan to have more and more long term residents. These not for profit projects are for those who are interested in a resource based economy lifestyle and a society where all citizens can thrive and have the same equal rights while living in a peaceful space with a policy of non-violence. We will maintain a future resident contact list from our list of contributors email addresses. When making a contribution, your email address will be saved to our list. For the small cost of a coffee you can help us get moving and contribute toward a more sustainable planet.

Some of us would like a low cost of living to have more free time away from our full time jobs to work on things such as activism, healing, art, education, business development, writing, music, yoga, or meditation. We value the golden rule: 'treat others as you would want to be treated.'

Our professional experience is based on working in Architecture, Real Estate, Management, research, experimentation, RV living, overseas travel, wild food gathering, and living short term in various sustainable off-grid communities. Our last project was an apartment building renovated with a focus on Green Design and solar power while providing lower than average rents. Instead of that typical traditional model, we are now more interested in living spaces that have room for gardens and off-grid power systems.

WHY: How are we going to come together now to create peaceful solutions? We need to become too big to fail, and not be vulnerable to fluctuations in non-local financial systems. One issue we are working on is that there is a need for sustainable living activitsts to organize their efforts. Most of us prefer to do something now rather than just talking about change. One way to do that is to vote with your dollars. If your housing, utilities, and food is obtained at home or locally from small family businesses, you are not contributing toward the profits of large super-wealthy corporations. The Sage Projects is an organization model to facilitate that.

The consolidation of wealth and power shows up in every single human endeavor and there are all kinds of strategic efforts around that. There are hundreds of millions of people engaged in thoughtful solutions, but they are not coordinated in their effors, not coordinated in sharing their best practices, and not organized and strategic. So what happens is that its not a match, so our job is that if this is where we are going and is our goal, then what are all the things that need to be done in order to get there? If we are going to create a world that works for everyone, what are the things that need to be done?

SUPPORT: TheSageProjects.org is our fundraising page. Based on what we learned from our last project, our next projects will have lower than average rents because the overhead expenses of having a mortgage is removed. So far we have what we need financially for startup tools and building materials. Our fundraising happens through our 'Pay It Forward' Bookstore, sponsors, and contributions.

GOALS: Our main goal is to provide low cost, not for profit, sustainable living spaces with organic gardens and off grid systems. In our research, we have designed a small portable solar power generator works, and works well. It can can be used at home or for camping or travel. It can be used to run lights, charge your cellphone, run a laptop, small appliances, and run a water pump for an off-grid shower all for under $150. Check it out coming soon at the bookstore.

Books we have purchased and Tested: Individual survival is less efficient, wasteful of resources, and does not allow essential skills to be shared and passed on. We envision a future when the current generation will be able to pass on a sustainable and self sufficient high quality of living to the next generation. When we are more self sustaining, we are sheltered from most problems created by dependence on the money system.

Our bookstore is a gathering of books that we found or were recommended by friends that we have purchased and tested and found to be successful methods for more sustainable healthy living. We have been growing most of our own vegetables and salad greens in Vertical Gardens, using a portable Solar Generator, and Vehicle Dwelling while camping and traveling. Vehicle Dwelling has been popular for a long time in Australia and Europe to travel or live short term without the high cost of hotels. Some people use these methods while attending college, between jobs, or working at state parks while earning an income. We have also found books with holistic life changing cures that have worked for us. One of these is a hemhorroid cure. The other is an acne cure. The acne cure worked for a male friend with backne, and another friend with facial breakouts. Talk about life changing! The acne cure is simple, easy, low cost, and there are no lotions required to buy! Books with more details will be available soon at our pay it forward bookstore. These books are extremely valueable and proceeds can help fund our projects.

We are looking for empathetic, non-confrontational people who want to be a part of these projects for long term living and growth. The more you educate yourself on the subjects of sustainablility and living in balance with a healthy planet, the more in tune you will be with our mission and goals. Join us on our facebook page to view our sustainablility videos.

WHERE: After countless hours of searching, we have found some perfect private urban settings within a fifteen minute drive or train ride to major employers and Universities in a mild climate ideal for solar power and gardening. We are in the process of getting things started but it all depends on our contributors and fundraising. For those who want to contribute, please scroll up to the Action List.

VIDEOS: For more details and videos "LIKE" us on facebook at the link at the top of this page. If you have similar goals and would like to help us grow, please scroll up to "how you can help".

History: Historically, most mindful real estate professionals have said that your living expenses should not exceed 30% of your monthly income. That is more difficult to achieve than it was in the early 90's when gasoline was under $1.87 and food and housing prices were much lower. Our grandparents purchased a new three bedroom home in Florida in 1990 for $87,000 in a popular area. The value of that home almost tripled from 1997 to 2006, and still remains close to that level even through prices have been slowly dropping, but not very much compared to the steep price hike, and certainly not back to affordable levels for alot of people. And now since rents have doubled in most areas, its harder for most people to save, catch up on old bills, and have personal time rather than working alot of hours with little vacation time.

Efficiency and Respect of Resources: In the news, we hear that the federal and state governments lose approximately fifty percent of collected tax revenue due to "inefficiencies and careless over-spending". We were very insulted to hear this news of wasteful and careless spending by those employed by the government who have high salaries, great benefits, and great pensions.

Our greater intention is to live more sustainably for the health of the planet and to be a role model for others to do the same by developing other sustainable communities. Large homes consume a high volume of power from fossil fuel burning power plants that continually push pollutants into our air. Scientists, doctors, nurses, and public health officials agree that industrial pollution threatens our health. To help with fundraising, we have an online bookstore. We also help property owners to learn how to make their properties more eco-friendly and help to advertise spaces when they are available. For more information on sustainablility, see our online videos and other information on our facebook page through the "LIKE" button at the top of this page.

Living Spaces:
By design, sustainable living studio rental homes will have many of the same benefits that earthships do, but without the need to be buried, which could lead to allergy issues. These benefits are: passive ventilation, cisterns, thermal mass climate control, grey water, and solar systems. In the future, we plan to construct a larger village cohousing project and then continue to hold workshops so that others may follow in other locations. We believe that new technologies are very important to off-grid systems. You can learn more about some of these new systems and materials on our RESOURCES page.

After touring ecovillages and cohousing rental homes across the US and abroad, we have not found what the Sage Projects has to offer in an urban location close to major Universities and major employers in the US. For renters, it is rare to find a month to month rental. It is even more rare to find one with rents that are lower than market rate. Rental homes are projected to rent for around half of the going market rate in the area. For those who have started from nothing or have run into hardships, there is a big need for a healthy, clean, stable, and peaceful living environment with rental homes that have month to month flexibility.

What We Are Not
Based on our past experiences living in cohousing we value both personal freedom and personal boundaries. Members are not required to follow any religious beliefs or attend group meals. We will not have a for-profit business where the residents work full time in exchange for room and board. By their own freedom of choice, members may choose to trade skills and food with neighbors, attend potluck meals, workshops, yoga, and meditation classes only when they want to. We want a balanced combination of freedom and personal privacy while providing opportunities to be social when you want to be.

Quality of Life
We believe that humanity currently has the knowledge to live in harmony with the planet without doing harm and causing pollution. One step is to reduce our carbon footprint. Another step is to stop supporting the manufacturing of products that are harmful by not buying them and using sustainable healthy alternatives. The product itself may cause health issues, and also the process of generating power to run the manufacturing facility to produce the product is polluting our air and water unless the factory is powered by wind, solar, geothermal, or hydro-electric, which is rare.

Holistic Sustainable Living:
Have you ever read a book or tried a remedy that changed your life or fixed a big problem? You may have heard the old saying, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". Sometimes that is true and sometimes its not. Its really sad to see so many corporations advertising and selling things that do not work or are harmful. Most people who have found time tested folk remedies, new remedies, or new technologies that actually work have spent alot of money and countless hours reading, researching, and testing before finding a solution. When we hear stories of amazing books, remedies, technologies, or products that have helped friends and relatives, we check them out and then add then to the bookstore or RESOURCES page of our websites.

Sustainable living BOOKS:
To help others share discoveries while paying it forward and working toward our fundraising goals, we are offering some low cost books that we have found to be life changing regarding sustainable living. We will be adding more soon. Click HERE for access.

Books cover topics on how to be independent and healthy and ways to make life more simple and easy when learning to live off grid. Book subjects include gardening, off-grid power, personal fincance, travel, and health.

When some of us experience minor and major health issues, we try every product and spend countless hours doing online research, and try every suggested remedy and nothing works. Then one day you hear of a folk remedy, holistic treatment, or something people are doing in another country. You try not to get your hopes up, and since you are open minded, you make one last effort and thank goodness, it solves your problem! Or as a result you were even able to avoid surgery. Those miracles have actually happened to some of us. One example is sciatica. Some people suffer with sciatica pain daily for years when they may not have to. There is a simple remedy that can be done at home for ten minutes three times a week that prevents sciatica that works for us. We will be posting that information in the near future in our bookstore.

This one is more personal and embarrassing for some people, but because this remedy has worked well, we are sharing it with everyone. Some people suffer for years from painful swollen veins known as hemorrhoids and undergo painful surgeries that may not solve the problem. More than half of americans go through this so we are including this one. There is a simple solution that works for most people and has worked so some of us avoided surgery which would have been painful and expensive. We have a link to that posted on this page on the right side menu and in the bookstore. We are very interested in these sustainable health topics as well as innovative new technologies and systems that are simple, environmentally friendly, and that help people to have a higher quality of life. Its a wonderful experience when you learn about something new that makes your life better from this day forward. Let us know if you have amazing experiences or tips that you would like to share by sending us an email or you can post a comment on our facebook page by clicking 'LIKE' at the top of this page...Namaste.
