Let me be the first to say it. Overused meme that it is.
Economics 2.0!!
FTW
Totally with you on the reset of the system. Not that it's overdue or that it's inately Baaad. Just that I like the rise of things like Make, the return of DIY and individuals hacking and remaking things - not because they have to - but because it's worthwhile work.
I use
freecycle - it's cool just hooking up with people, of a similar ilk - who have stuff that they no longer need - and are happy to hand it on, or around. Instead of it just going in the bin and taking up space in some landfill.
This isn't green-hippy-SAVETHEPLANET talk. It's simple things, done slowly, done well - and making some small difference. It's not revolution - it's evolution - but with tools that are about connecting.
Actually - it's not 2.0 anything. It's just getting on with it. But realising that we've not really come that far from the excesses of Bonfire of the Vanities - and despite all the best efforts of E! Online and the Living Channel - it's OK to just do. And it's how you "do" with those around you - that determine the quality of your society.
Now. Where's that joint?
