🌍 Founder's Vision: The Deeper Reason Behind TECO Village

"Were we living better lives before?"

Even as we enjoy modern technology, advanced infrastructure, and countless conveniences, this question keeps coming back to me. And maybe to you too.

• I remember the days when summer nights were lit by fireflies. 

• When village ponds filled naturally with rainwater — water that sustained our cattle, wild animals, and even us.

• The air was clean, ponds held pure water, rivers flowed freely, and life had a natural rhythm.

• Today, almost all of that is gone. No fireflies. No ponds. No rivers as we knew them.

In the name of development, we’ve embraced unnecessary competition, ignored pollution, and adopted a lifestyle filled with stress, resource hoarding, and disconnection.

When I reflect on this shift, one thing becomes clear:

Our everyday habits and decisions — big and small — are responsible for this damage.

🌿 The Hidden Impact of Our Daily Choices

Every day, we make simple decisions: What to eat, what to wear, what to buy? But these small choices have a massive impact on the planet.

• • The plastic bag you use for vegetables doesn’t decompose for 500 years.

• • A water bottle we discard in minutes can float in the ocean for centuries.

• • Fast fashion may look cheap, but each garment takes 2700 liters of water to produce.

Our lives have become faster, but peace has disappeared. Convenience has increased — but at the cost of the Earth.

It’s time to pause and rethink how we live.

🏭 Overproduction and Overconsumption — A Heavy Load on Earth

Today, humans consume 1.7 times more resources than the Earth can regenerate. 

• The fashion industry produces 150 billion garments every year — most of which are never worn.

• Mobile companies release new models annually, pushing old phones into landfills.

• You’ve probably seen unfinished construction projects lying idle for years, serving no purpose but damaging local ecosystems.

• Landfills are overflowing with millions of tons of items no one ever truly needed.

We’ve cut down trees and lost their shade and cooling. Instead of replanting forests, we bought air conditioners. Rainwater that once soaked into the ground now rushes off concrete roads and dirty drains. We’ve filled our fields with chemicals, our ponds with garbage and plastic. Now, the polluted water seeps underground — and we rely on bottled water and RO systems. But the plastic from those bottles is again polluting our rivers, oceans, and soil.

All these changes — made in the name of “comfort” and “progress” — have brought us to a point where clean water and clean air are rare.

And we’re not even sure what we’re eating anymore.

Looking ahead, the rise of AI data centers, which consume massive energy and water, raises a haunting question:

What will happen to our planet and all life on it?

❓ So What Does Progress Really Mean?

Is this what progress looks like?

Is this what it means to be the most intelligent species on Earth?

Do we really want to live this way?

Is this the kind of planet we want to leave for our children?

These questions led me to envision TECO Village.
