showcase What good have you all done lately for Humanity and our Home Planet! (Showcase)

[oldtimer]

So you think you are very smart, you got all the major trends in domaining covered like Crypto, CBD, New Technologies, The Brandables, All the Popular Products and Services, and All the Short and Liquid domains, and some of you have even managed to make millions off of domain names that match every part of the human anatomy (and I don’t mean from the medical aspect of things).

So you might have donated a few dollars here and there to charities and nonprofit organizations over the years,

But what is the legacy that you are leaving behind and what have you personally and actively done as a domainer to help make things better for the Humanity and our Home Planet.

Domainers are in the best position to create awareness around the many issues and problems that are facing the World by using their smarts and creativity to come up with new domain names that can be used to do something of value and importance for the Humanity and our Home Planet.

Even if you don’t get the chance to use all your domains yourself, but you can still play an important role by creating some useful domains and making them available through domain sales or donations to those who are in better position to use them for doing some good.

There comes a point in everyone’s life when you start thinking of the legacy that you are going to leave behind and somehow all the thousands of domain names and the material wealth that one has accumulated as a domainer seem to lose their luster, the only thing that is going to last and is truly satisfying will be knowing that you have played a part in bringing some good to the World.

Well I got some news for you in case doing some good for others hasn’t been on your agenda so far.

it’s never too late to start doing the right thing even if you are an oldtimer like me.

So everyone start thinking of some useful domains that can be used to do some good for the Humanity and our Home Planet.

You are welcomed to showcase such domains here along with any advice or guidance that you might have that can help others to get started in this category of domains.

Here are some of my domains that if my health allows I am going to use to express my thoughts and ideas to the World with and as such do my little (well perhaps not so little ) part in creating awareness around the issues that pertain to them:

Domaining is my hobby after main job. I can only praise by one domain for offline project:

biegsuperbohaterow.pl - in English it means superhero run.

As amateur running group we wanted to have our own run which will be matched with charity help. In last year there was our small anniversary, 5th edition. Due to covid it was virtual edition. It always takes a lot of our time. Something like 6 months of preparation for 6 hour of main event but emotions and financial effects after it shows that was worth it.

Interesting thread. It's important to keep the momentum of good deeds rolling. Coming from a background in Earth Sciences, and formerly been involved with professionals around the globe, yesterday I accepted a new gig working with underprivileged youth. I didn't apply for the job, I was offered the position (besides my other responsibilities). As a domainer, I understand we're in the business to make money, but there are many domains simply priced out of reach to many who would otherwise want to make a difference. This is not a judgement, just an observation. Personally I plan to develop: ProjectBluePlanet.com

I voted against the socialist Labour Party in our General Election here in the UK.

 

[oldtimer]

I voted against the socialist Labour Party in our General Election here in the UK.

I myself try not to commit myself 100% to any kind of political ideology. I do believe however that all political parties are capable of both doing good and bad for the Humanity and our Home Planet and as such I support them when they are doing something good and I criticize them when they want to follow their same old divisive and wrong policies of the past.

All political parties have the potential to evolve to do good if they based their thinking and actions on the kind of Universal Principles and Values that are derived through Logic and Compassion instead of wanting to cling to all the old political, religious, racial, and economical ideologies, doctrines, and philosophies that are no longer adequate enough to meet the challenges that are facing us today.

The thing is that if everyone agreed to follow Logic and Compassion as their guide to making the World better then we might not have all these different political parties that are at each other's throats all the time.

I can't wait for Humanity to ascend to a higher level of existence and thinking that can allow it to become a force for good that can make it possible for us and all the other living things and entities that we share the Universe with to be able to live a productive, safe, righteous, healthy, and happy life in a way that is at peace with their Home Planet.

Since the World is now facing so many issues and problems at the same time, I have come to the conclusion that we must rethink the way that we have been handling this situation.

Whether it's the Pandemic, Climate Change and Global Warming, or all the Environmental Damage that we have caused, or whether it’s all the unknown risks and challenges that we might be facing with the issues around AI, Automation, and nano, genetic, and quantum engineering, or whether it’s all the political, religious, racial, and economical upheaval and turmoil that we are currently experiencing or even whether it’s how we plan for all the natural and manmade disasters that could adversely affect the World in the future, it seems that the common denominator between the way that all these problems and issues are being addressed and handled right now is the lack of having a logical and compassionate method of problem solving that can address all these issues and problems at the Global level and at the same time.

Perhaps it’s time to create a new Global Institution that is not going to waste so much time and energy on giving speeches and having more and more useless conferences, but rather that is going to concentrate all its efforts on finding a scientific problem solving method that can be applied Universally across the board to any and all the current and future problems that the World might be facing.

Here's one of the ones my wife and I dedicate some time to.

WorkCamped.com

It forwards to our FB group that grew to 4,800+ members in the last 2 years.

We started it as a pay it forward nonprofit initiative after losing everything ourselves during hurricane Harvey and the domain community coming together to help us through the toughest times of getting back on our feet.

The U.S. based WorkCamped group is dedicated to helping nomads, rvers, drifters, and homeless find work and a place to stay in one convenient place. The opportunities range from part time, full time, seasonal, short term, and long term.

The majority of listings provide paid work + full hookups for an rv (Electric, water, Sewage) + free wifi + more. Some listings also provide meals, a furnished room, a furnished cabin, free boat rentals, free cable, and more.....

To give an idea, just a few of the companies that list or are shared in the group are, but not limited to, rv parks, camp grounds, farms, ranches, bed and breakfast, ghost towns, animal sanctuaries, remote online opportunities, bakeries with rv hookups, restaurants with rv hookups, stores with upstairs apartments/rooms, small motels, traveling amusement parks, traveling Circus, rodeos, state parks, national parks, storage facilities, apartments, condos, and much more.

When the pandemic hit and put so many out of work, it spiked our memberships and we've now been able to help thousands find a place to stay and a paycheck in the same place after losing their jobs and homes.

We volunteer our time to this and use money from our for-profit projects when we can to fund it.

Eventually, we'll be able to expand on it and build on some land to provide housing and jobs ourselves for some of the members.

Baby steps.... one day at a time.

@Eric Lyon , that's a great project, I remember you talking about it in another thread here on NP,

The fact that you are helping so many people during the Pandemic is admirable and certainly qualifies as doing something good for the Humanity and our Home Planet.

Have you considered asking for some PPP assistance or grants to help scale up your project.

I'm not red or blue, I'm an independent that tends to have some conservative leaning views. I would rather not put the governments teet in my mouth and would be more interested in finding a way that benefits more people involved on all sides (consumers, sponsors, employers, employees, volunteers, etc.).

Options right now are limited until there's property/acreage to develop/build on for a physical location. Hopefully, by the end of the year.

Once that goal is reached, it opens the doors to a lot of other solutions and opportunities for small scale/tiny living communities that are all networked together and contributing towards common goals.

An intentional self sustaining off-grid/wireless-grid community structure that can be replicated easily into other network-able communities.

Drastically reducing all residents cost of living and eliminating most cash needs, other than government mandated overheads, like taxes for the land mother earth provided free, but the government controls and profits from.

Nothing in stone yet. Baby steps.

Going self sustaining is a great idea specially if you can use renewable sources of energy like solar, wind, and geothermal.

What do you think about having Electric RVs,

IMO

Smaller electric rvs may be more practical, class B or mini class C sized, if you are referring to electric motors for propulsion.

Something like our 30ft class A, may not be so practical with current technology, However, solar and wind is very viable for powering everything else in the rig.

Rain water collection and filtering is very viable today, too. You figure every 1k sqft of roof captures 100 gal of water per inch of rain.

Obviously, one would need to be much more conscious about water waste to conserve, but its completely doable.

Yes I was referring to the RVs with electric motors,

Now that there are big electric trucks coming out, I assume that we will soon see huge electric RVs in the market too.

I have been thinking about buying an Electric car (or pickup truck) but then they are kind of expensive right now, maybe in a few years the prices will start coming down as more and more people switch to EVs.

I set up a small off-grid, solar powered medical grow-op on a forested rural property back East. All legal of course, since Canada legalized cannabis. My cube van is diesel, since I can't see a solar powered rig being able to tow a trailer any distance atm. Possibly in future. @Eric Lyon, I am interested in your idea GLWT .
I'm also planning to further develop the domain: TinyHomeReview.com. Keep in touch!

Good luck with the tiny home reviews. I know a few people that do youtube tiny home reviews on their channels to Vlog.

Definitely, stay in touch. One never knows what future ops may bring.

On the subject of electric cars and RVs I was thinking why not make some basic models without all the bells and whistles that are affordable for the average person to buy.

The way that I look at this is that all those people who are becoming millionaires and billionaires by charging sky high prices for electric cars are actually doing a disservice to Humanity and the Environment because all the wealth that they are accumulating by those big price tags can go towards making it possible for many more people to be able to own electric cars if they weren't so expensive.

As someone who cares about the Humanity and our Home Planet It's issues like this that makes me think of new domains to register.

For cost perspective when it comes to technology we can look at the cost of the cheapest used golf cart and then add x2 100w 12v solar panels and a charge controller to it.

• A base model, used, golf cart will run you: $500
• X2 100w 12v solar panels: $300
• Charge controller: $75

That's $875 for a electric golf cart that won't ever need to be plugged in again.

Unfortunately,

• a golf carts top speed is 14 mph
• The batteries last 6 miles on one full charge
• No seatbelts
• No airbags
• Completely drained batteries can take up to 8 hours to fully charge on solar.

It would be practical on a micro scale above for neighborhood, farm, and ranch use, but loses all viability for any main road use governed by DPS.

For a practical road use, the cost would more than likely be x10 to cater to better technology that can extend the drive time, storage capacity, and rapid charging abilities.

That means the cheapest street legal base model that complies with DPS regulations could potentially be $8k to $10k with financing available.

Note: new golf carts can range up to $5k for a base model, which puts the realistic total for a new electric vehicle closer to $30k.

Electronic vehicle insurance is 3x more than gas powered vehicles due to the technology costs in replacement parts.

 

[oldtimer]

That means the cheapest street legal base model that complies with DPS regulations could potentially be $8k to $10k with financing available.

And that's basically the price range that I like to see for simple electric cars that can be used for commuting around town.

And I don't understand why they are charging so much more for insurance when it comes to electric cars.

All and all the manufacturers, the electric power companies, and the insurance companies should all do their best to make electric cars more affordable for the average person to buy and operate if they really cared about the Environment as they claim.

There is a lot of talent and smarts hidden in the domain Industry, so why not use these special abilities to come up with a few domain names that can be used for doing some good for Humanity and our Home planet.

Everyone should have at least a few domains in their portfolio that can be put to some good use and that they can take pride in owning and whether they use those domains themselves or make them available to others through domain sales or donations,

The important thing here is for those domains to be created in the first place.

I learned a simple, but valuable lesson today...a reminder of humanity.

Last night my skidoo got stuck in a deep snow drift. I worked for several hours at -40C trying to get it unstuck, and again today, only to get it restuck in the fresh snow from a blizzard overnight. Then an elder called to me from a distance, speaking in her native tongue. I could only make out a few words, "come inside, warm up, get help!". I followed her advice. I was getting exhausted trying in futile as I thought I could do it myself...my own stubborness and fault.

No more than 15 minutes later, several men from the local tribe showed up. They volunteered and were eager to assist. With their help, the snowbound sled was quickly extricated from the drift. I was also offered a heated garage where I could thaw it out from all the ice that had built up overnight.

Point of the matter - when circumstances are too much to tackle alone, people willing to help if you just ask. Many hands make light work.

That's a great story, but next time when it's -40c outside and there is no urgent and immediate need to be out there maybe it would be best if you just stayed home where it's nice and warm and looked for some good domains to register.

I dress warm and stay active, lol. It gets colder than -40C here, I'm used to it (windchill on the skidoo is -80C at speed). I didn't want the skidoo to freeze into the snowbank or it would be there 'til spring. I've actually got enough domains atm, just need to work with what I got and maybe spend less time outdoors.

I myself can't wait for the Spring to come around when I get to spend a lot more time outside tending to my garden instead of being all cooped up inside during the winter.

By the way for those who didn't know -40C (Celcius) is equal to -40F (Fahrenheit), that's one special number where it is the same for both measurement systems.

why not build a greenhouse so you can grow year round? Lots of stuff can be grown indoors in a greenhouse year round protected from frost.

Interesting trivia - a 20ft by 40ft greenhouse can feed an entire family of 4, x3 meals a day, year round, if you also utilize jarring and pickling. There are several varieties of veggies and fruits that are ready for harvest every 30 to 90 days (repeat).

That's on our goal list anyways. Baby steps.

Note: donate and feed the neighbors with any excess you don't use/need. (On topic)

I have a small flower garden with a few rose bushes that keeps me busy during the good months of the year, I have planted a few things like watermelons and berries in there too just to experiment with, but unfortunately my health condition doesn't allow me to take on a big project such as what you have described. Only if I were younger and healthier.
