Imagine 4, Global Water Day
The sun hangs low above the Pacific. Wisps of clouds begin to take on tinges of orange and red. Silhouettes, lit from behind by the setting sun, dot the horizon for miles in each direction. Each one holds in their hands a different tool, a different toy. Some hold hula hoops, some swords or staves. Some spin nunchaku, some poi, or balls on chains.
All stand in silence, waiting to hear the cue to begin. Then, as the sun touches the water, a song comes from the huge crowd on the beach.… Continue

Think Collectively, Act Individually
I think the future of money lies in a change of philosophy, Think Collectively, Act Individually. Our recent problems have arisen because people have given away both their money an their power away, and its high time we take it back, and then pass it on ourselves. This means we need to think about the wh*** world, the wh*** economic system, we need to learn and think about our money, not just how it can help us individually, but how it can benefit the global community as a wh***. This may seem… Continue

Rain Dance 2020
Numerous cultures all over the world have a concept called a rain dance, a ceremonial dance that calls upon the spirits to give us down here below the life-giving gift of water.

At 4pm local time in every place on the planet people will gather and dance in whichever way they like in order to remind us all that nature…

DIRECT INVESTMENT = REAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN
Following the 6th Objective of Alchemy’s assignment I started a funding operation among my friends and family directed to help empower one girl or woman with better access to education or economic opportunity.
While talking to my people about the aim of the founding operation, I came acquainted that most of them were not able to understand the difference between giving money away for plain CHARITY to the third world and donating to support a… Continue

Intervention Day, 10th Anniversary
Next week it will be the 10th anniversary of the day the aliens landed. The government has declared a national holiday and there will be fireworks, all the usual stuff. But not many people will be celebrating.
For one thing, there's another monster typhoon brewing in the Pacific. All those fancy new fusion generators don't seem to have fixed the weather. I remember the first television interviews when the aliens tried to explain what they could and couldn't do for us. They were like… Continue

Global Network for Neighborhood Energy Self-sufficiency Teams
There many ways to save energy, generate it more cheaply, and use renewable sources. How I would do it is focus on adding much more insulation to my house, switching over to heating, cooling, and hot water heating with geothermal energy from below my house, and telecommuting rather than taking the commuter train. Many people should be doing similarly, and we would save a huge percentage of our energy.
Helping my neighbors do the same kind of things will help me as well, because then we… Continue

ACT4: Making a Water Alliance
The sun had finally set, and our plane came down over the runway. We all hastily exited the plane that we had been sitting in for the past twelve hours. As we entered the air port, we were greeted by a wave of heat. My group sat down and we all started to fill out our forms. When we had answered all of the questions asked by the customs officer, he told us, "Welcome to India."
My school trip to India was an amazing, eye opening experience. We drove through the…

Global Community Gardening Network - the idea
This mission is a difficult one for many people, myself included. Food is fundamentally essential for life, of course, so you would think we would think about it more. "We" being the part of the world that has arranged that we have plenty of food, we don't have to worry about it too much. So what do we need to do? And what about the rest of the world?…

IMAGINE4: Iceberg Ahoy
Icebergs have been sighted off the eastern coast of New Zealand yet again.
This time they have drifted close to Auckland.
At these northern latitudes the Ice is melting rapidly but is still the size of a small ship.
Tugs have been sent out to tow the berg away from maritime navigation routes.
Instead of dragging her away from our coast the tugs bring her right into Auckland and it is… Continue

Fourth of July on the Lake
This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. 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.
