What does “Back to the Basics” mean?

“Back to the Basics” is to apply things in the past which save the environment and human being for the sustainable future.

Reasons

• Many problems from modern technologies

• Over consumption

ExampleChanged House

Today, we have an air conditioner to comfort us

but they make a lot air pollution. Maybe we have

to change our house design to make it possible to live without this thing. Mizuta resident is the one of good

design.

ExampleTo reduce over consumption

Nowadays, we want a lot of unnecessary things. That became environmental problems. Maybe it is better to growth vegetable or

fruit around our house for our food and have a simple life which is similar to Hayashi’s lifestyle.

Actions back home

IndividualWe would use natural

packages instead of plastic packages since Thailand have a lot of banana tree, its leaves

can be used as a package.

Actions back home

IndividualWe would grow our own vegetable or fruit as food in our family. This can reduce over energy consumption because we don’t have to go to a supermarket.

Actions back home

SchoolWe are going to create campaign “No plastic

bag in school.” We would use other thing which is green. Many

things which are green come from the past

knowledge.

Actions back home

CommunityIn our village, If we have

our own products, we can exchange them with other people’s products because

we cannot produce everything by ourselves at

the same time.

Summary

The most dangerous enemy of the world is the human habit to use a lot of things that are not necessary. Finally, let us ask ourselves,

“Which things in the past can we use for a sustainable future?”
