is online free. Events organisers and public relations for nonprofit
organisations should find that useful - its proven track record has
raised millions of dollars in needed community funds.
VIRUS
HEALTH ALERT!
The problem of herpes
viruses and the Epstein Barr virus giving rise to the CFIDS Chronic Fatigue
Immune Dysfunction Syndrome has now hit pandemic proportions with both
the HHV3 Simplex & HHV EBV4 virus (mono, glandular
fever) now at over 90% of the world's population. We
need a donation to get this survey going, please.
The good news is that I'm asking the right questions with the right
clinical researchers, so the CFIDS & Health resources website is
filling with relevant content. The other good news is that CFIDS
is treatable, although much of the public and many family doctors need
to be aware of the illness.

Communities, alternative energy exchange and alternative economics are

Globalisation depends on strong regions for success so let's ensure
your region is clean and green and ready.
Globalisation, if it's based on the triumphs of post war
Internationalism (UN, WHO), results in capitalism with a social
conscious - is that the best we can hope for?
In
an increasingly global marketplace, the economic needs of small communities, particularly
in rural areas, must take priority.
Without
strong and self-sustaining communities the world will be a much poorer
place - for the individuals who live there and for their neighbours
who will be missing on a trading partner who offers a diverse range of
products & services.
Leaving
aside ideologies such as socialism and capitalism, thisism or thatism,
it should be recognised that humans have been 'trading' for thousands
of years - so we may as well get it organised!
Unfortunately
in our haste to trade, some sustainable and unethical practices such
as rampant consumerism and wholesale environmental destruction have
become mainstream and acceptable to the uneducated.
It
is widely acknowledged that capitalism has many undesirable social consequences,
particularly for residents of developing nations and those who through illness, age
or circumstance do not participate in the workforce.
This
site is dedicated to the alternatives to unsustainable economic and
environmental practices. Budding freelance writers, community workers,
ethical entrepreneurs and
academics are invited to submit articles for these pages - please
email us.
Please
support our site and research by visiting our sponsors who have been
chosen for their ethical business practices. Return often,
as this site will grow as more resources become available. I'm
using my resources as a former regional economic development manager
and an ethical journalist's sources to ensure accuracy amongst these
pages.
Thanks
and good luck in your efforts to make your community a happier place
to live :) What have you done today for Gaia?
