  • 10 Practical Tools for Building a Resilient Local Economy
  • We must think LOCALLY, and act now to begin growing a resilient local economy.
  • Understand the full extent of the problem.

  • Eternal “growth” is impossible on a finite planet. We are living in a contracting economy and life as we once knew it is changing forever
  • we are going to have to use different economic tools than we have in the past: tools to facilitate transactions between people.
  • Build resilience.
  • we the people at the grassroots
  • The crises we face demand that we work together with others in ways we never have done before.
  • Develop practical life skills which will get you through challenges.
  • Grow food. Now. Everywhere you can
  • Relocalize: shift to lifestyles which require far less transportation
  • Powerdown: decrease your energy dependence overall.
  • An economy is like an ecosystem: it has many interrelated parts. We need to build much greater resilience into each of the parts – local business, currency, investment, measurement systems – in anticipation of what lies ahead.
  • Practice sharing: Set up lots of sharing networks, like carpools, home repair groups, garden sharing, group purchasing, tool libraries, gift cultures and more. Do it now, while times are relatively good, so these networks will be in place when we really need them.
  • Demand new economic indicators. Economic Indicators are our measuring sticks. They’re the way we determine whether (or how far) we’re moving in the right direction.
  • “The economy” is the sum total of transactions between people. And people’s lives and experiences are about much more than just dollars, profit and growth.

Exploring what open government means at Code for America Summit | opensource.com - 1 views

  • It’s being open, inclusive, and collaborative with citizens so they feel comfortable with what government is doing. So that citizens want to be part of the solution. It’s also about driving efficiencies from the governments. We do things based on tradition, not law and policy. The open government process is a vehicle to fix that
  • Governments that work like the Internet. Networked. Generative. And reflective of who we are
  • What does open government mean to you?

  • Open government means the re-establishment of trust in democratic values. Today, we hear a lot of noise in politics. The open government approach is non-partisan and it’s really about connecting people back to their communities. That means people will be connected with each other. And that’s exciting!"
  • "I think of it in slightly different terms. A government is for citizens and it must deliver a cycle of trust so that citizens can participate in government. There are three design values that are part of this: respect, participation, and unity. The important one is unity, because it brings citizens and government back on the same side.

Ysenate - 1 views

  • As neighborhoods of people use the information engine to learn, they will easily collaborate and filter each other for incrementally increased bandwidth
  • YSenate is designed to minimize confusion and maximize informed opinions amongst large groups of arguing people by focusing attention into neighborhoods.
  • Neighborhoods are like a 'Senate sub-committee,' and are a locus of conversation, but they dynamically reorganize as people express themselves and vote.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Balancing objectives of democracies and republics, Ysenate works by organizing people into nested sets of neighborhoods through colors, connections, and locations. A citizen's nearest neighbor will likely be a friend, who lives nearby, and who shares similar political opinions. Incrementally larger neighborhoods expand your network to a gradually growing spectrum of people.

shared by sylvainb on 24 Jul 14 - No Cached
  • Assembl empowers hundreds or even thousands of people to create collective intelligence. Not just individual comments. Not just a social network. Not simply sharing existing knowledge. Assembl enables real co-production of fresh insights and new ideas.
