Ideas... Ok, maybe just ramblings...
One of the areas that I feel our current educational system is the most lacking in is financial matters. Why not teach them by exposing them early to a system such as CES. A parent could, according to their discretion hire their children to do chores or get an allowance and pa… Continue

CES, Me and a User Guide...
CES got shoved to the back of my mind while I pursued different diversions... I played around ideas for creating my own classified ad website using credits or points but each time I would run into one road block or another.
I fell in and out of love with different web designs, programming languages, wiki engines, etc. During this time everyone… Continue

- I have loved sailing for as long as I can remember. I am currently trying to build a "mouseboat" with my son. I love the idea of being self employed and would love to setup a business that my family and I could do together.
I currently work for a phone company doing IT work and use the Open Source Asterisk project for use in a lot of phone related applications.
I also would like to be involved in developing small communities into thriving centers for development, energy and independence. The stronger the small communities are the more independent they can be and thus less dependent on Federal (National) aid and the inevitable rules.

- Dear Karl,
Thanks for your comment and for the encouraging words. Your comment motivated me to add some of what i didn't really have time to write in the first place.
I see you are one of our "American cousins." I thought you were here in New Zealand when I first read your comment.
I guess your dad uses "biodiesel" in his vehicle. Our system is much simpler with no chemicals or glycerine byproducts.
Have you looked into alcohol yet? If you haven't, I recommend you visit "www.permaculture.com" and do a search on "Alcohol can be a gas" There is a Transition Town, I believe in Indiana, that is looking at backing a local currency with alcohol, the fuel. It is something we also propose toinvestigate and hope to work with the the US folks on it. In view of what is happening to the debt money system and the corrupt banking system worldwide, we all need an alternative, whereby power can be returned to the people, where it belongs, and taken from the small elte who have it now.
Regards
Geoff

Book review of "The End of Money and the Future of Civilization", by Thomas Greco
By Thomas H. Greco, Jr
Published by: Chelsea Green Publishing, White River Junction, Vermont, USA (www.chelseagreen.com), 2009. ISBN 978-1-60358-078-6
Thomas Greco is the most radical writer on money today. The very title of the book suggests that the future of civilization depends on abandoning money-as-we-know-it. What could be more radical and revolutionary than that? Yet on readin… Continue

Introducing COGS
COGS stands for Circle of Gifts, and is a complementary currency specifically designed to help local communities re-localise activities. The aim of re-localisation is to provide inhabitants with the possibility of an acceptable quality of life when traditional economic development fails, or their circumstances are against them.
We believe complementary currencies will become more important as energy supplies dwindle and impact the economic growth so essential for inter… Continue
