MASTERING THE GLOBAL TRANSITION ON OUR WAY TO SOCIETY30.

Image
 I am probably one of the biggest fans of Society 3.0 and Seats2meet...find out why... About Society 3.0 A vision, a search, a roadmap to the new world! “A new order is presenting itself. It may still be an undercurrent, but maybe that is the best way to grow. We see more and more people who have clearly chosen how they want to go about with themselves, their environment and other people.” Our society is changing and you need to be part of that. We want to give you the stories, showcases and in depth articles to inspire you about this Society 3.0. In the world as we see it, access is more important than ownership. They are the people we call global citizens: people of the new world. These Society 3.0 citizens cannot and will not deal with the thinking of the establishment anymore. They want to add value in their work and life in a significantly different way, namely by creating value instead of growth. We think these global citizens – who are increasing in num

Crowd funding is the liberation of capital

Indiegogo is a crowd funding platform that's helped everyone from entrepreneurs to filmmakers -- and even prospective parents -- raise the funds they need to turn their dreams into reality. Crowd funding is the liberation of capital, a mechanism to underwrite big and bold ideas. It's also a source of capital that is growing exponentially. By the end of 2012 there are expected to be over 500 crowd funding sites generating $2.8 billion in funding -- a fivefold increase in just four years. Indiegogo has over 7,000 active campaigns at the moment and distributes millions of dollars each week to people participating in campaigns. Head here to see how strangers can fund your next dream project and tell me about a project you'd like to see financed by the crowd. -Peter Diamandis Tell Peter Diamandis how you want to make a Difference!

About the Mesh, Serendipity, Sharing & more… Posted by Ronald van den Hoff × March 30, 2014 × 3,340 views × Select Language ​ ▼ From a Society30 point of view, economic growth can no longer be described with indexes such as GNP (the only reason to show growth in our Gross National Product is to convince the financial dragons that we are able to repay our debts within the agreed upon term). The Interdependent Economy of Society30 has other growth regulators than we are used to: - It is all about what goes out, and not what comes in. So, you will not hear “Are we richer today than yesterday?” It’s all about people being better off. Why produce more products that nobody wants? - It is about connections, not transactions. Growing smart is about connecting and co-creating, and not just about trading goods with each other. - It is about people, not produ

That's about up about 12 percent from the year before

Stop Meat Industry Pollution - ForceChange

Stop Meat Industry Pollution   Goal: Reduce pollution from massive livestock operations to save animals and the environment The raising and harvesting of meat, as unethical as it may be, is also part of several detrimental issues facing the world today: loss of wildlife, climate change, and the pollution of water are all concerns which have received widespread attention. Massive livestock operations are contributing to each of these problems in significant ways. We must petition to reduce the huge numbers of livestock at these facilities, and create safeguards to reduce their impact. Between 1980 and 2010, meat production tripled, and is set to double again by 2020. The earth and its wildlife are already feeling the burden, but with the impending population boom set to raise the world’s human count to 10 billion by 2050, the blow to the wildlife populations and the environment will be even more catastrophic than it is now. The problems created by such immense qu
