Toucantopia

The society of nature and family, Toucantopia is named after the Toucan, known for its colorful way of living in family-oriented environments and in tropical and nature-like atmospheres. It is the place to be to flee from harmful and polluted environments of the city. Toucantopians live by three mottos, and they are: family, love, and nature, similar to the living of the famous Toucan.

Declaration of Independence

Declaration of Independence

No more polluted atmospheres of the city,

No more broken families,

No more killing of innocent animals,

No more divorcement,

No more loneliness,

We hereby declare on September 1, 2007, Toucantopia, the city of escape, an established society. We are tired of people polluting the air, people polluting our waters. It pains us to observe the failing attempts and infidelities in marriages, it pains us to see broken families suffering from loneliness. We are tired of the city life.

Toucantopia, named after the toucan, is the home of our dreams. It is by far, the friendliest, nature-wise and family-wise, society known to man. We are determined to differ the way we live in this society than our lives in the city. That when we see a person suffering from hunger, from no family, from illnesses , from loneliness, from unfaithfulness, that we will all help each other, that we will treat everyone equally as family, that children with no parents need not worry no more, that people who are tired of the slaughtering of innocent animals need not worry anymore, that people who have no one, need not worry no more. We are hundreds of citizens in this society that make up one big family.

Motto

Motto: Family, Love, Nature
These are the words that the Tucaneese live by. The three words cover everything that we believe in…



Family- We believe that our community should have a strong bond together. Everyone supports each other, and we are all one big family.

Nature- We believe in preserving nature. We do our best to preserve our environment and to leave a positive footprint on the earth.

Love- We believe love is the key to a happy world. Love your family, love your environment, love your earth.

Seal

Animal


The animal that symbolizes our utopia is the toucan. This is the animal we chose to represent our home because the way in which we live our lives in the canopy is very similar to the way this colorful bird resides in the tropics. Much like our own utopia the Toucan lives closely in a family environment, gathers and eats tropical fruits, and regularly has a feeding/eating ritual with its family.
