Collaborative projects - Envisioning
So I'm a skilled person, having recognised qualifications in say, accountancy, procurement, or engineering. I'm really psyched about development work, but I have a busy life so I can only devote say, four hours a week to project. What could I do with that time?
Imagine a webpage devoted to say, building a school. This could be split into parts and smaller parts and smaller parts - until you get to individual working units fairly small in size (say 1-4 hours). Any one person…

Diminishing land availability and Increasing crop efficiency has meant that most of my food comes from the local algae farm in the form of processed dietary supplement bars. But once a day I will be able to enjoy a 'real' meal - a misnomer because meat is too expensive for all but royalty and exotic fruit is no longer available now that rising oil prices have extinguished foreign trade.

Fourth of July on the Lake

The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
