===Water Distribution System===
 +
[[Water]] is vital for all known forms of life. As such it is the greatest human need, after [[oxygen]]. Humans need clean water for drinking because if you don't drink water or take it in through the food you eat you die. It is also important for the water to be clean because drinking water with harmful substances can cause major illness and death in humans.

===Energy System===
 +
including the [[Power grid]]
 +
 +
The [[Energy system]] is the totality of all the smaller systems that together provide the [[infrastructure]] for [[energy]] based systems. These include [[mining]] and harvesting materials as energy sources. Examples are [[drilling]] for [[oil]], mining [[coal]], or on a smaller scale collecting [[firewood]]. The [[transportation]], refinement, and [[sales]] of these raw [[material]]s is also a large part of the system. Knowing the ins and outs of these complex systems allow you to actively choose which energy sources to use, create stockpiles of raw materials, and acquire the hardware and knowledge to convert energy source to a usable form. Creating [[Alternative systems of support | alternatives to this system]] is also important.
 +
 +
The [[power grid]] is a part of the larger [[Energy system]] that consists of numerous production facilities ([[Coal]], [[Natural gas]], [[Nuclear]], [[Hydroelectric]], [[Wind]] and [[Solar]]), distribution networks ([[cable|lines]], [[transformer]]s, etc.), and [[maintenance]] and monitoring personnel.

* [[Homeschooling]]
 +
'''Education''' is the process through which one learns useful [[skill]]s or obtains [[knowledge]]. This includes the educational systems available to education our [[children]] as well as looking at what and how [[adult]]s learn. The systems available for education our children include [[public school|government run school]] system, [[home schooling]], unschooling<ref> http://www.thesurvivalpodcast.com/courtney-clay-on-unschooling Accessed April 4, 2014</ref>, and [[online education]]. When discussing adult education topics of interest include [[coyote teaching]], the value or lack thereof of [[college]], [[student loan]]s as it relates to [[debt]] [[slavery]], and learning skills useful to both [[success]]] and [[survival]] as a modern person.
 +
 +
==Government Run Educational System==
 +
The [[United States government]] run school system is a Prussian model system that began in the late [[1700s]]. Although several of the innovations and standards established in these systems can be considered positives the system also instills many negative affects on those forced to participate in it. These systems have been reluctant and slow to adapt to new [[technology|technological breakthroughs]].
 +
 +
These schools are some what good at developing the basic level of reading, writing, and math but do not do a particularly good job of teaching children to think for themselves. This system is almost very good at producing
 +
"[[Teacup Generation | teacups]]" and does not promote [[resiliency]].

=====Self Directed Education=====
 +
 +
"Educate and inform the whole mass of [[the people]]... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our [[liberty]]." -- [[Thomas Jefferson]]
 +
 +
=====Alternative Educational Systems=====
 +
The trends of [[homeschooling]], [[unschooling]], and using [[online education]]al resources have continued to change the paradigm around the [[Big government|state]] school systems]] and are a prime examples of an [[alternative systems of support]] replacing the mainstream system. Many of these educational models allow children to decide what is important or interesting to them (an example of self directed learning) while [[mentor]]s, [[teacher]]s, and [[parent]]s simply guide and challenge the learner to come to their own conclusions, complete specific projects, or challenge them to see things from a different perspective. The [[Internet]] allows for access to a vast amount of raw information (see [[Conservapedia]] for instance) as well as forming learning [[communities]] not available with a physical location school.
 +
 +
=====Permies Kids Community=====
 +
PERMIE KIDSs is an online community of [[parent]]s and [[educator]]s empowering [[children]] to take a solutions-based, active approach to life by learning to care for people and the Earth (see [[Permaculture]]). Jen Mendez is the founder of PERMIE KIDs. Although the exact processes of the system are currently be developed you can learn more about PERMIE KIDs and join in the discussion and development at [http://www.permiekids.com].
 +
 +
PERMIE KIDs is an acronym that stands for the key principles and characteristics it aims to cultivate in students.
