Abstract
Research covers study of old technologies and approaches towards sustainable building,
plant/tree medicines and non-timber forest products, ways of maintaining water purity and harvesting
rainwater, urban farming and energy efficient lifestyle. Implementing these techniques into
the framework of our society, will cause an economic awakening. A shifting to new realizations that
the current stream contains much waste and unproductivity, which can change by harmonizing old
and new technologies. Knowing how to apply these in modern life, is essential for the ecological economic
growth of the future. It is a way of thinking, within all sectors, to enhance not only peoples’
daily lives and atmosphere, but the self-reliance and health of the nation itself.
