The Venus Project
presents a bold, new direction for humanity, entailing nothing less than the total redesign of our culture. Unemployment, violent crime, replacement of humans by technology, over-population and a decline in stability of the Earth's ecosystems; These are the problems of today, and as you will see, The Venus Project is dedicated to confronting all of these problems. Through the use of innovative approaches to social awareness, educational incentives, and the consistent application of the best that science and technology can offer directly to the social system, The Venus Project offers a comprehensive plan for social reclamation in which human beings, technology, and nature will be able to coexist in a long-term, sustainable state of dynamic equilibrium.

As one, we can make this project happen. We have the power to decide if this is the future that humanity actually deserves, and in doing so may act with foresight to re-align our current crash-course. There has never been a time in history, a better time than now, for we the united to choose a better way. How long will it take before all understand that Life, capital L, can be better? It doesn't have to be this way.

Ask yourself: Is THIS why am i here? To turn a dollar from the sweat of my brow, so as to afford to keep the sun from my back, the rain from my head? Here I am, here to watch the daytime television, to buy the designer clothes, to consume industry-approved placation after placation? No. There is more, and more still.

The way we are living right now is a mad rush, a stampede; This pollution of mind and body is stagnation, not evolution. Money cannot warm a heart or enrich the mind. All recognize the heedless waste of planned obsolescence and monetary greed. And yet, it need not be so. With even the slightest action, you will be so amazed at just how little is needed to enact a change. You are all very special, every human on this planet is so special, so aren't we all deserving of something better, to live without fear or undue strife? As much as the water we drink, as much as the air we breathe, as much as the sun which shines down, now more than ever, we need each other to survive. Lest the soil go bare, the water impure and the air go foul, we cannot risk anything less. Nothing will change unless we want something better for ourselves. The day your child comes to you, asking "Why can't we live in a real home, why can't we have food to eat?" It will be sooner than you think if we cannot act together.

Listen, and hear. Our future is in our hands, hearts and minds. Let's make it happen. Let's come together and save our world, save each other, and save our future from ourselves.

Updated:I also found this Foundation (Resource based economy foundation) RBEF for short.
What is RBEF?

Very generally speaking, RBEF is a set of tools for the transition from the Monetary System to Resource Based Economy. RBEF provides research on the transition economy model, develops global projects, and a libre resources management platform.

We believe that the current economic setup creates more problems than provides solutions.

Economy, in order to function, relies on artificially upholding scarcity which is maintained by various mechanisms like "planned obsolescence", "priority of profit", or "distortion of values".

Those fundamental causes are:

  • The misunderstanding about human behavior that allows manipulation of the people in various aspects.
  • The erroneous design of the monetary economy that, a priori, must lead to stratification and a widening gap between economic classes, and unemployment.

  • Our efforts are directed at removing the causes that lead to societal degradation rather than wasting them on remedying effects.

    "I do not want to talk about what you understand about this world. I want to know what you will do about it. I do not want to know what you hope. I want to know what you will work for. I do not want your sympathy for the needs of humanity. I want your muscle." (Robert Fulgrum)

    we love talking about the problem and coming up with applicable solutions. however, we fully recognize the opportunity we have before us. the governments, money systems and major institutions of today are failing because they are no longer relevant. we do not intend to ask permission to use the knowledge and information before us in order to make a war free, money free, work free, poverty free reality.

    At this rate, it's only a matter of time until we self destruct. It will either be through war (mass destruction through nuclear war) or through natural disasters due to our horrible care taking for the environment. We need to act now and keep this research in progress and make it well known to the people in all of the world to the best of our ability.

    We have an obligation to keeping this planet alive; this planet which has provided us with so much, such as LIFE. We not only should, but we must. The current systems in place are not effective, and even dehumanize the human condition. It is time for people to cease being selfish, ignorant sheep and take responsibility for their own actions. This is the time, now is the time, and we must do everything we possibly can to right the wrongs that have been done to us because of our own supposedly "blissful" ignorance!
