This endeavour should be profitable, showing that capitalism doesn't need to fear this aspect of global-committeed, locally focused, restorative justice. The university would in no way, shape or form dictate anything to the First People, only be guided by those who choose to do so, with the hope that some sense of restoration, even if it is only punitive (to be determined by the individual and the collective), be given back to a community that so much has been taken away from. The university in general would focus on projects that contribute on a modern capitalistic plane in a restorative historically and traditionally protective fashion. That means - you cannot simply restore the conditions of a native beach to its pre-capitalist way without finding means of profits for the locals - it just doesn't work. However, if you build an infrastructure for ecologically conservation with eco-tourism in mind, the locals win on multiple fronts (protection of their environment, their traditions and their earnings).
Initial steps include purchasing land OUTSIDE of a (Native America) First People land.
The structure itself needs to fit with the concept of recycling - including but not limited to the material used in the construction, the ability of the facilities to cool themselves through non-traditional methods. The use of bacteria and other living systems, as opposed to harsher forever chemicals. A logisitics team to carefully consider the trasport of now recycled goods to their next part of their journey. Considerations for how to continue to recycle products after they have been recycled once. A research facility joint effort with the university to continue to find new uses for various types of waste.
The research facility for finding methods of cleaning air, water and earth through various means should come from the university with projects that receive grants actually being tested and future company creation funds being supported and managed so that the efforts of the projects don't remain a local secret, but in keeping with the capitalistic nature of the States, those who were able to create the systems would be given first choice as to creating a functional company. If they choose to continue to focus on research, further funding should be secured, while the means of creating the company should be offered to other students who would be tasked with not only creating a profiting company (clauses added to secure some return in future for profits made so that other students could benefit from the same opportunity as those working here) but also running it with the tenets of the school in mind - creative solutions that put responsibility and transparency before profit.
The buildings must all be different attempts by students or professors to create using locally sourced, recycled, upcycled material with an understanding that the ideal point is negative carbon emissions. That means rethinking the infrastructures as well as materials. There will be the added challenge of considering each building within the complex of a university system - that needs to include facilities for lectures, arts, theater, residences, medical and administrative tasks, as well as dining, cooking and shopping for the student and faculty populace.
that is carbon neutral and will house a company that will certify businesses much like the Leed building certification process (and in fact should be qualified to be a third-party Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI) accredited professional). The certification system should be on packaging and alert consumers to the products detrimental effects. This is to combat 'green-washing,' currently a billion dollar profit for companies.
Each living and studying space should be a project built and designed by the students to incorporate a theory into practice. After buildings are constructed continuous monitoring and statistic analysis to keep measurements and data collected and available in a common and public areas, available to all.
The traditional state of the cafeteria was one of large portions to large masses - convenience and mediocracy, because no matter how well the food was prepared and seasoned, as soon as it sits for a few hours under heat lights, it will no longer retain its initial state. A reconnection with seasonal availability, the passing of information via cooking, generational connections and traditions. Teaching autonomy via the ability to feed yourself and the experimental nature of cooking.
Priority As IS Like non-pathed national park areas/sanctuaries or similar, giant areas of land that can aid in understanding and studying but not necessarily 'changing*' or giving access to - ownership in the sense of being a parent-child-parent type: Taking care of needs, allowing to be as is without much intervention. Learning from instead of taking from - not for profit. Green spaces with nature is the priority.
Priority Mutuality Large areas of land that have nature and people coming together - parks, picnics, camping on the sides closer to the 'as is' areas, recreation centers and other types of programs that aid love of nature through the lenses of people.
Priority Human Green areas for recreation bringing people together in green areas, having areas of relief, designed, man generated and for the cleaning and refreshing of man. More focused on climate change, mental health, human interactions and needs.
