Transiting from an individual to a communal way of life

An analysis of communital living and working shows that it has many advantages over individualistic living and working.
The advantages of communital living and working are that revenues, responsibilities, housing, consumption and goods are shared. This is economical and reduces waste.
In comparisan, individualistic living and working are about self-gain (money). This leads to Individual responsibility, individual housing and consumption without limits, which leads to overconsumption, which produces more waste and high expenses.
Shifting to a communal way of life is preferable to achieving a low eco-footprint.

All good things in live are for free!

-       The sun

-       The air

-       The earth

-       The resources

 -       Water

-       Nature

-       Affection

-       Convivial relationships

We can make use of them for free!

Unfortunately, due to economic abuse, we have to pay for these natural things! In future, we can’t afford them.They will not be available for free anymore.
We must overthink what is important to us and our priorities. We have to make choices, not only economically but also for the survival of the planet. Our needs can be devided in two catogories: the ones that are necessary and the ones we don't necessarily need. In this last category, we can make choices.

-       Individual housing, renting or buying

-       Water, gas, electricity

-       Homemade (organic) food

-       Fulfilling, meaningful work

-       Hygiene

-       Medical costs, medicines

-       Education

-       Insurances

-       Selfmade or secondhand clothing 

Necessary furniture, appliances

  Secondary live needs, not vital needs, we pay a lot of money for:

-       Transportation

-       Cars, petrol

-       Holidays, flying, hotels, camping-cars, camping

-       Festivals

-       Lifestyle, presents

The footprint will be high in an individual luxury house measuring up from 135m2
and occupied by two persons. The only way to lower the footprint is by sharing the home,
the costs and the car usage with more families! With six persons, it is possible to have a
responsible footprint, in the given situation and go to One Planet! Do your footprint test.
