The thousand year plan is based on the theory that one hundred people per square kilometre, live and work well with each other and with nature. More than one hundred and layers of hierarchy become an issue. Less and there's too much for each person to do. We can all have equality and ensure nature's biodiversity by decentralising society into one hundred people strong self organising sharing communities.

The large spaces of nature national parks offer are invaluable, but they need to be connected with small spaces of nature where we live. With half the land for people to grow everything we need and half the land forest for nature's biodiversity and to combat desertification and erosion and store rainwater and act like a buffer against extreme weather and provide the air we need to breathe. We can all live sustainably.

In the morning one can work for one's community and in the afternoon for one's family and in the evening for oneself. For example each village has some people who love making clothes. They are responsible for what clothes to make. In the morning they work in town with people from other villages who also love making clothes. In the afternoon they work at home doing gardening, housework, cooking etc. And in the evening for themselves, reading, socialising, relaxing etc. (See More)

There will be some people who for some time would rather watch the grass grow. In a just society, making food, water, clothing, shelter, healthcare, transport, communication, education and entertainment conditional is like making air conditional. And there will be some people whose needs are too complex for their family and their village to meet and will need away from home care in town. (See More)

For this to happen with today's property laws. Area C (in the picture below) is a parcel of land suitable for one extended family of 14 to 20 people, that can be purchased as a property lot. With half the land for people and half for nature, one hectare per person is enough to grow everything everyone needs. By decentrlising society, everything is close by, reducing the need to transport people and things. And most importantly, the forest is at everyone's backdoor, so we are better able to care for it.

Once this is achieved there'll be no need for money or any other authority. There'll be no systems that enable people to get people to harm people and nature. There'll be no heirarchy. We will be able to live in harmony with each other and every other living being. Only when everyone is free to do what they feel is best for themself and their community can we all be free.
