Daily Action

Here are some examples - far, very far from being exhaustive - of concrete daily actions that contribute in enhancing tomorrow's world... This list is not exhaustive and should be permanently improved.

Be an Ethical Consumer

The Ethical Consumer boycotts products and companies that practice obvious resource and human destruction. What we buy - or don't buy - is a vote. Open money will support the birth of currencies that express data such as ecological footprint?, ethical values placed in the product, recycling capacities, human labor, public versus private knowledge, etc.

Buy and sell local

This attitude induces and develops a relational culture, it reinforces social links and prepares us to counter some of the negative effects that come from globalization?.

Practice a craft or trade. Gandi promoted production by the masses instead of mass production ((see Gandhi's swadeshi). These items can then be used in barter and local economies.

Develop local community currencies (CC)

Whatever is the form it takes, community currencies allow participants to re-think and rebuild their local economy in a global perspective.

Practice the Art of Happiness

The Art of Happiness is a long journey in the field of personal development and spiritual practice. Individual happiness should be seen as a civic duty because it is contagious.

Practice the Free Economy

Free software movement, Open Source Intelligence?... do you know how much you pay for privately owned knowledge whereas most of it belongs to the commons and is publicly available?

Practice the Gift Economy

The Gift Economy relies on being aware of what any transaction you do is causing to the human community, at local and global levels. It comes with holopticism.
