Media & Design Toolsfor Ecosystems Design
Local/Global data from design/build and ecosystems sources form the basis for long term assesment and planning of ecosystem services transitions to sustainability.
24
Real Time Decision Data
Data from global and local sources would be available as near real time data for farm, design build and economic decisionmaking to support sustainability transitions.
25
Living Economies Role:
Sustainability Media Design/center becomes source nodes for local sustainability storytelling for local/global distribution, underwritten by the Living Economies Networks.
Living economy networks use media and design net as one source for networking, transactions and post-competitive systems based in sustainability values, currency and relations

Startup Costs in Villages Anticipated startup costs
per village:
$2000 to $20,000 USD Equiv,
Subsidized as need be with local / global donor machines and training via people to people and virtual networks.
In many cases existing technology already in communities or regions will meet much of the technical need.
