    Toolshare scheme added to the freeconomy community

    Skillshare is the main part of the site, so it's already there! The toolshare was added in to augment it, so if you got someone with the skills to do the job but hadn't the tool, you could then look for someone with the tool also.

    Toolshare scheme added to the freeconomy community

    What would happen if Nature decided she was not going to give unconditionally anymore - only food for those who give back?? The apple tree doesn't ask whether you are willing or unwilling, deserving or undeserving. It just gives. I'm not saying its an easy thing to get over (distrust), but if...

    Toolshare scheme added to the freeconomy community

    I take all your points guys and thanks for your feedback. One of the problems however in this world of ours today is that we automatically distrust strangers before we trust them - the media has had a strong role to play in that. And so we have become more and more isolated from our local...

    Toolshare scheme added to the freeconomy community

    I understand you probably think it's advertising but the community is set up as a gift to society to help ease on impact on the environment. As it is a 'moneyless' community we do not recieve income of any kind - we refuse advertising, it's free for members and we won't even accept...

    Telephone marketing...

    That is classic! My own version (no where near as fun) is to put them on hold for a few secs, then just leave them until they hang up! That is mint though!

Secondly, the vast majority Range Rovers (and this is fact) are owned by people in medium to large towns / cities. Probably because of the low prices paid to farmers...

    Recycling

    I'm curious - why do you consider food covered in pesticides and oil 'normal'? Also, so-called normal food seems cheap only because farmers are getting shafted by the far too powerful supermarkets. 450 farmers a week in the UK are being forced off their land because the supermarkets are using...

    Recycling

    A society that has a wastebin is failing. In nature there is no waste. We are the only species to have habitated this planet to creat waste, and how! We need to stop looking to government for answers. We are on the brink of making this planet uninhabitabel in many parts due to soil erosion...

    Hartlepool man locked up

    An appalling act. It almost beggars believe. All I ask everyone to remember is that this guy is a symptom of a much bigger problem. While he needs to take responsibility for it as an individual, society needs also to take a look at itself and ask how has it created a crowd of people who have...
