    Friends on P2P
    Among other things that we do, we have a movement on to 'Save the Himalayas' and another to 'Save the Seeds'. Both are grassroot movements. Any one interested to know more, please let me know. Best regards

    Hi Arun,

    just started reading your article on sustainable development and it occurs to me that you would perhaps resonate with the discussions in another, similar group that is established specially for the purpose of working out alternatives to our monetary system that do not have the drawbacks of the current one such as forcing continuous growth.

    See Open Money

    Also, an interesting character in that group is David Braden and you should check out his introduction to Three Dimensional Networking.

    Hello Sepp,
    This is my first attempt to explore the relationship between Energy use, climate change and issues of sustainability, food and nutrition security and Gandhi's political philosophy of 'Village self-government'. Each village more or less self-sufficient as we were 100 years ago. When that sort of solution is proposed, a new monetary system, perhaps gold based, will be required.
    I remember that till about 1960s many women saved in gold. Investment in FD, securities, etc are a recent phenomenon. Also, there some communities in the Himalayas that save certain types of food grain as an insurance against crop collapse.

    Hi Arun I’ve just joined P2P and am passionate about our species’ ability to develop it’s collaborative intelligence. If we are to turn the planet around we need the participation of just about everyone – we need a very special ‘Yahu’ (http://gettingclevertogether.com/cooperation/yahu-for-collaborative-intelligence/)
    …anyway would like to have you connect to me as a friend on this network and love to make connections for others when I know enough about them to know who to introduce them to. I hope I can do that for you in the future.

    Kind regards
