micro-funding
I came up with an interesting game involving microfinance. Basically it works with an understanding of one line:
"I commit to finding ten people by the end of month. I commit to consensus decision at the…Continue

Water does not behave well. It crosses political and geographic borders. This is problematic for the monkeys in charge of the planet, but turns out to be the critical condition which may bring us as a human race together.

2020 party :)
This one is easy.
It's 2020 and we can not quite believe what has happened. That's the nature of achieving ideals.
I've been living on the Maldives, with stints on other islands, for years now. Converting the local political economy to zero-carbon was easy, after all President Nasheed was the first national leader to commit to carbon-zero neutrality way back in 2009. What happened beyond even…

my mum
I talked to my mother about converting her garden from mostly flowers to vegetables. She didn't buy into the idea of a disaster looming on the horizon, and should there be a collapse, her efforts would be much appreciated by her neighbours and community.
With this little nudge from EVOKE, I will try again. Hopefully she will read this and understand that it is for us to make use of what we have. My sister is good in the garden, and I'd be happy to go up and visit for a week…

femi longe
This guy is the business. I met him in 2007, and he impressed me with his character and leadership.
I have attended his Africa++ events in London, an attempt to encourage innovation amongst distributed networks.
He is definitely a leader/facilitator, and I would like to invite him here to describe what his current plans are.

Innovation is about ideas, intention, and time. Materials, money, people come after.

Several innovators have written up their top advice for innovation. Nobody is presenting a complete, comprehensive system, but rather heuristics for ideal/practical innovation.
One stands out for me: Ethan Zuckerman's 6th point:…

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.

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.
