Hi everybody !
Christophe wrote:Otherwise I have a little trouble wishing "full of professional success for 2009" because what does that mean? Earn more to consume more to pollute more or to deplete resources a little faster? Obviously the work is not limited to the salary but few people work for anything else ...
Hi Christophe, rather than wish each other I do not know what hypothetical "what?", Which will be quickly eaten by the days which pass, (time kisses us ...), I would like to talk to you (you) here, and especially today 'hui, of a project of which I am one of the instigators, like a little breath of fresh air in front of the mess that presents itself to us ...
Do not worry, 2009 is going to be an interesting year, we are entering fully into the deployment of the systemic crisis, which will lead to its procession of forced and forced "readjustments".
Our leaders, laughable with their "refoundation of capitalism" will have to eat their hat!
The king will find himself naked, and this is where the econological approach will be able to take its place, because it brings immediate answers to immediate problems, where the lobies and the "decision-makers" drag their feet ...
The question of degrowth is found at the heart of the debate, by the necessity of things (recession).
This recession is a chance, and I welcome it. The fall in the price of oil is simply linked to a market that has become highly speculative, which had taken the price to highs, before falling back to the level of 2005 ...
Why this fall? In fact, as in the past six months, a sharp slowdown in production, industry and transport, which are the biggest consumers of primary energy, have pulled in.
Demand dropped, so pollution ...
Ecologically positive effect!
You have to transform the test, there is room for serious alternatives.We must stop listening to the blablas of politicians and powerful parasites, and take concrete action.
I made it to my house, I mounted, with a few friends, something called betweenPOTEGo see, click on this link, everything is explained in detail, there is even a forum !
Basically, we are an association now comprising 180 members, with a local in town, in Roanne, which houses an association café, our purchasing group, AMAP, and our offices.
with friends aims to highlight alternatives in all areas (especially those we are debating on econology.
), with a vision of networking based on cooperative practices.
When we work together, we have considerable firepower.
For
with friends, we went from the 6 founders, at the time of the development of the project, to 150, during our first GA, three months later ...
We crossed our personal trust networks, ie people we felt "compatible" with
our philosophy, asking them to do the same on their side.
Until we have tried, we cannot imagine the power of a group ... especially when the people who compose it all have at least a talent, an area of excellence, networks, whose contribution is appreciable.
What we do is act locally, on our local networks, thinking globally, nationally and globally.
We are convinced that the multiplication of this kind of initiative in all areas of life could trigger a dynamic which, for once, comes from "people from below" ...
We are advancing on a "swarming" strategy, and already, an antenna
with friends opened in Charlieu, north of Roanne, others are in more or less advanced project.
In addition, we discover every day structures which swim in the same waters as us, which fight in their corner, with which we seek to weave links.
We must favor networking, this can give impressive results!
I am available to answer all questions from econologists who would be interested in our approach, even if it means creating a new discussion thread ...
As my friend Didier said (pantone Merco and 205) just take your finger off the c..l! )
Good readings at the start of the year, friends!
Welcome to the club !
I therefore join Christophe in wishing us a Happy Ecological Year!
We were on the brink, but we made a big step forward ...
ecological of all kinds!
