Inhabitat is my role model
My role model for Social Innovation is a website called Inhabitat:
http://www.inhabitat.com
It's not technically a site like this where people can share ideas; more a place where sustainability and technology news related to Climate Change is reported. However, they do have a Q&A session where people can ask questions, comments where the topics can be discussed and sometimes live, video… Continue

Developing for the less-fortunate
To most people an assignment like this sounds really simple. Choose a favourite secret of social innovation and make it your own. With so much at stake I think it’s important to examine one’s own strengths and weaknesses before answering such a question so, as a result, I don’t have a favourite secret... I have several favourites.
1) Innovate on existing platforms –…

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…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
public servants
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.
