Glimpses of a better world

I'm planning to maintain a list of inspiring initiatives that create better social relationships, that I will add to as time progresses:

1. Initiative:Alternative currencies in Europe Why? Because this currency encourages local consumption, and discourages the accumulation of funds, and supports local NGO's. There are fundamental problems with our current monetary systems, which i will outline at a later date.

2. Initiative:Community garden networks in Australia. Why? Community gardens fulfil many purposes: encouraging urban agriculture, building local communities among them.
