Time for a regenerative and decentralized economy...

A healthy economy should be designed to thrive, not grow

What would a sustainable, universally beneficial economy look like? "Like a doughnut," says Oxford economist Kate Raworth. In a stellar, eye-opening talk, she explains how we can move countries out of the hole -- where people are falling short on life's essentials -- and create regenerative, distributive economies that work within the planet's ecological limits.

It's world health, rather than personal health, but I thought it would be an encouraging bit of news to start the week: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-7738359/Dying-coral-revived-playing-sounds-healthy-reefs-underwater-loudspeakers.html?

Dying coral could be revived by playing healthy reef sounds underwater

Researchers led from the University of Exeter report that the sounds attract twice as many fish to help clean up the reef and make room in which new corals can grow.

The world's largest E-ferry, connects two islands without emmiting CO2

It's hoped the vessel will pave the way to achieving carbon neutrality and the full electrification required by the international maritime authorities.

In the last week we saw St Mark Basilica in Venice flood as Venice experiences the highest sea-levels in over 50 years. If losing Venice many other cities and your drinking water due to rising sea water is a concern to you, consider taking up the Global Goal of Climate change as a personal Purpose.

Knowing that 90% of the plastic polluting our oceans comes from just 10 rivers, this is a great invention - that would need a serious implementation.

    According to the Ocean Cleanup project it's about 1000 rivers, not 10 - but still a tiny percentage!

    I love having home grown food, and would love to have help. I've often thought if hiring someone when I have the money, and I keep thinking of economic inequality. Like, is paying someone only $15-20 reinforcing the classist nature of our society?

      I think paying someone in relation to the skill of the job is fine.

      I agree with that to a point. But if we didn't have janitorial staff at hospitals, things would be unhygienic, so they are vital to the service being offered. So, should we pay based on skill or the value of the service?

    Having just harvested the olives here in Italy, going through the process from tree to table, I was reminded of the community aspect of working the land, we work together, eat together and we share the olive oil at the end. This opportunity, where a group of people come together to focus on one goal, connects back to the traditions of the land where the only money that exchanged hands was for the pressing of the olives. This is truly a beautiful gift, to remember the forgotten art of giving and receiving in harmony with the eco-system we are all part of.
