The Institute for Sustainable Technological Research and Development

The Institute for Sustainable Technological Research and Development (ISTRR) would be an organization that focuses on providing resources for and funding to groups and/or individuals that are working towards creating sustainable technologies. In terms of defining what sustainable technologies is, technologies that promote the reduction of waste, energy consumption, or help the environment qualify under this definition. Promoting research in these areas will contribute towards not only reducing environmental damage and global warming, but also possibly help pave the way for colonization of different planets.

Realistically speaking, I personally feel that colonization of different planets very far from happening, and not likely to be achieved at a large scale during our lifetimes. However, I do believe that our generation can help contribute towards the technologies that will make the colonization of different planets and commercial space travel possible. More specifically, in order to effectively colonize planets that at the very least, take months to travel to, colonies will need to be able to sustain themselves. In the short term, the ISTRR looks towards helping the environment by finding sustainable ways to produce more energy. In the long run, the ISTRR is hoping to be able to help with the endeavor of space colonization by providing resources to scientists in the present to discover ways to produce energy more efficiently or reduce waste. In this sense, the organization is unique because there are tangible short term and long term goals that the organization works towards developing.

Anima Mundi Development Partners should support the ISTRR because of the impact the organization will have on the course of history. In the same way that the advent of air travel has changed the course of history and positively benefitted society, the traveling of the stars could have a similar potential impact. Even when considering the present, the introduction of more sustainable technologies could potentially be enough to create a noticeably positive impact on the world in itself.
