	Our goal is nothing short of paradigm-shattering. And together we can make it a reality at the cost of scrap metal and proper use of ubiquitous, local resources. The GVCS is applicable anywhere soil, sunshine, and water are found, which is just about everywhere. Unfortunately, we cannot do this alone—nor would we want to. It will take global knowledge and cooperation. We '''challenge''' you to '''join''' us at Open Ecology—see our results for yourself and share it with others; get involved and critique away, then add to the momentum; if you like what you see then give support by becoming a True Fan. Now that we have shared our vision with you—assuming it resonates within you—it is your obligation to do something—anything. What's truly stopping you? Perhaps nothing at all. We believe the only limit is our imagination and we won't stop until we've empowered the masses. Whatever your beliefs, ideas or talents; we are ready for you. With all our hands and all our brains, we can create a more regenerative and resilient world for all. Let's show the rest of the world what it really means to evolve to freedom!

	We are Open Ecology: a network of farmers, engineers, and supporters that are bootstrapping the next evolution—an evolution to radically local production, an evolution to high-quality living, and an evolution to freedom. You might ask how we expect to accomplish these lofty goals—specifically what is our strategy? Our ace in the hole? How do we embrace the Cyberpunk ethos of 'surthrival' analogous to the Open Ecology attribute of 'subsilience'? Hold on tight, here we go.

	Most people are on the verge of understanding what sustainable implies: maintain the current state of affairs by not compromising the future. Simple enough. Regenerative takes it the next step, and this is where people get lost. Regenerative is to be sustainable to the point where we are repairing the world—healing the damage, giving back, revitalizing our ecology. It's like sustainability + 1. Interestingly enough, what we are talking about is even further down the road: resiliency. Resiliency is inclusive of the regenerative concept, but includes a level of adaptability. That is, adaptability and certainty in the face of an uncertain world. When we apply these concepts to community, wonderful things happen.

	Anyone could see this to be true. We see it as fact. And we approach this understanding from the point that if we can get the cost of production down by a factor of 8, we can support the processes required for an abundant civilization. The end result is that people are in full control of their productive technology base, truly bringing about the possibility to transcend material scarcity—a foundation for evolving to higher pursuits.
