This is my idea:<br><br><span class="userContent">We need to develop a PLATFORM that
groups all present alternative economy inspired institutions and people,
promotes food and energy self-sufficiency through knowledge-sharing and
community work, operating through some
decentralized digital currency.</span><br><br>We need a platform where the individual user is enabled to contact the right people and existing organisations in order to succesfully get emancipated from this economic system and start enjoying a new one! The individual user needs:<br>
<br>- Resources<br>- Knowledge<br><br>Im thinking of a platform that acts as a link between all present alternative activism projects, local or international, and the internet public.<br>The main features would be:<br>1. All existing sharing-expense travel sites such as hitchhiking, sailing, couchsurfing, house-sharing, woofing, volunteering handled with one public identity.<br>
2. Links to the local Alternative Food Network, or CSA group, and all kinds of community based local business and creation of a Global Peer-to-Peer Market that works with Bitcoins.<br>3. Links to all existing open-source knowledge-sharing groups and organisations such as Open Universities, Hackerspaces, FabLabs and other Independent Research Foundations.<br>
<br>I´m thinking of a simple - yet catchy interface, with an avatar and a sorth of Earth Passport, a well organized social network with chat service and forums.<br><br>Now tell me my brothers and sisters, is all this doable? Do you agree it could be a momentum-changing project? Who is willing to discuss it and work on it?<br>
I trasure your opinions,<br>Federico<br><br>
