Introduction [2]

     Many people worldwide have contemplated solutions to these problems. However, instead of decreasing, the number of social problems continues to accumulate. Ultimately, the root cause behind these problems lies in the imperfection of the monetary society that sustains life based on money. Unless this aspect is changed, the problems will persist indefinitely. Therefore, humans need to reconsider their way of life, including the purpose of life and how to live. While nature and science and technology are necessary for human survival, the following sections summarize what Prout Village represents as a society. In essence, it describes the nature of Prout Village and how it differs from other societies.

    In regions around the world, the basic unit is a circular municipality called "Prout Village," with a diameter of approximately 4 kilometers and a population of around 60,000 residents. All aspects of daily life, including housing, appliances, food, electricity, education, healthcare, are produced from local resources by the local residents and are therefore available to everyone free of charge. Residences are constructed using natural materials and have a design that can be returned to nature. These houses are made using natural materials such as bamboo, stone, and clay, and they are highly airtight and well-insulated, providing heating and cooling throughout the day. Anyone can receive these residences at no cost from the municipality.

    Household appliances and other daily necessities are either handmade or produced using 3D printers. These products are manufactured within the region using locally available raw materials and obtained free of charge. The production quantity is limited to the number of residents, and the designs are based on reuse, minimizing the need for raw material collection and eliminating resource depletion and environmental destruction.

    Furthermore, household wastewater is entirely infiltrated into the ground from neighboring residences. To achieve this, plant-derived ethanol, essential oils, and water at temperatures exceeding 70 degrees Celsius are used, instead of chemical-laden detergents, soaps, and shampoos. This method ensures that neither the sea nor rivers are contaminated, and they return to their original pristine state.
