No, no, no, no - this free planet post isn't about futuristic 'technology' of 'cloaking devices' for interlinked hexagonal Floating Homes?
It's not.
It's about the 'technology' of LEAVING NO HUMAN FOOTPRINT upon this Earth. As far as Free Planet is concerned, with the potential for local solutions for Energy, Waste, Water and Well-being, we don't need to 'leave our mess' all over this wonderful world. We're clever enough to just have a limited i.e. virtually 'no presence', impact upon this Earth if only we put our mind to it (abandon PROFIT) and try to DO RIGHT BY the Free Planet ethos of, "Leaving a place better than you found it."
Free Planet (in its manifesto) suggests that a 'gypsy-like' stateless or traveler form of existence can repay our debt to our nearly-ruined home world. We can effectively limit our impact upon this Earth by not trying to roll the concrete carpet of Empire all over Nature. That way, the planet gets BREATHING SPACE i.e. it is given a chance to replenish and rejuvenate after decades of literal slaughter in the name of profit (or political gain). If we want to? If we allow ourselves? If our Earth deserves it. And it does. Look, it's not even difficult. It's all so basic and simple.
We have the 'technology'.
