Well, much of what the Na'vi do are what native americans did long ago. So, we could do what they did.

Soon, we will no longer be the leaves on the wind, but the wind itself.

There is so much of the way that the conquering tribes lived still prevailing in society today. A more nature driven community, would get bought out and evicted as soon as greed for what ever the region offered made its way there.

In the real world, the natives aren't winning.

The best that we can do is, try to remove power from the exploiters, then someday, maybe, generations to come will benifit from such choices.

In a more direct step, you could consider joining an eco-village. They've been gaining popularity recently so there are many looking for members to join.

Very interesting.  A very passive approach, which however honorable, may still have a long way to go before they have a larger impact.  Especially on the collective capitalistic approach that is the prevailing structure of the Plutarch's running our nations.

One can piss into the ocean of consumerism all they want but unless they're willing to take the first steps themselves it will come to naught.

We shall remain them to Na'vi villages, we will take them over  ;D.

Well, let's not fetishize the noble savage too strongly here.  Real-life native societies often involved oppressive social structures, bloody intertribal warfare, slash-and-burn agriculture, and other fun things.

Ok so no going crazy about it, for now.... BTW James has already been asked like a million times about AVATAR 2 and so far he is saying that is very possible. My prediction is that by middle January he will announce about it more firmly.

Wow that is pretty interesting.

The ecovillage thing looks really cool! I didn't know so many people were doing that.

I did not see on the wiki but I am curious where most of them are.

Those first steps can be tricky.  ;D

just stop using oil, recycle, learn how to make fire the ancient way (instead of gas lighter, remember that ancient fire making is fun), buy fresh meat from a farmer, dont go to a supermarket or something else.

get an bicycle, get solar pannels / windmill eat insects instead of beef.

...You do realize a Na'Vi lifestyle would mean no electricity, and thus no computers or Internet...? Meaning you wouldn't have this site!!  :P

But I do adore the idea of a Na'Vi lifestyle. Only kill what is necessary, respect the environment, practice in religion and the community... That's a good way to start. Then bring out the big guns with living without the luxuries normal life...

I think I could do that... Though I doubt I'd be able to live without my tv, manga, books and internet  :-[

Tirealì'u

I said it elsewhere, I'll say it here... I'm keeping the cell phone, desktop, laptop, ebook reader, mp3 player, and other things I use to enjoy communication with people world-wide, and take in creative media and artistic expressions.

I rather agree with a discussion that came up on Slashdot earlier today: Avatar isn't a movie that says technology is bad. In fact, you can pretty easily argue that the Na'vi use technology with the neural connection stuff. Also, the "good" humans used plenty of technology to positive effects.

However, the movie talks about ill uses of technology, and oppression of other people. It is an anti-war and anti-corporate film, not anti-technology.

I expect that it is entirely possible to develop new ways of producing electronics and other technology so that it has much less environmental impact, which is a positive thing to work toward.
