************************************
What would it take for you to be at least OK, if not pleased, for (some/all of) those on the Hastings pier on 5th October 2010 (& the alledged 30th July 2014 Eastbourne Pier arsonists) to be invited to re-open these Sussex Community piers in Spring?
*************************************









Suggested next steps:

1) Keep coming back to the values of "caring and sharing"
2) Where there is difference, build understanding and trust
3) Practice seeing "my" property/wealth as belonging to the community
4) Honour the "5 ways of well being": Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning & Give
5) Value community learning opportunities eg "Hastings Pier Fire Justice Fiasco"/ "We Need To Act If We Want Justice"
6) In responses to all conflagrations develop creativity & flexible nonviolent (direct) action
7) Earn our care in later years by acts of service this week
8) Generate support structures for all with as much wisdom and compassion as we can foster for self and other/world.

Radio 4 programme on the Sharing Economy - note to Freelending CIC co-director

Radio 4 programme on the Sharing Economy - note to Freelending CIC co-director

Here are the links to the programme as I put it onto YouTube
1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3KHDKrylQA
2) http://youtu.be/VJmXJsUQfkg
& in this 3rd part I go on to say something of the new economy idea that seems so compelling, daunting yet necessary; Heinz Wolff's Care4Care.mov
3) http://youtu.be/QV5rJVk9B1o



In the programme I liked Ali (from liftshare, who came to the freelender tent at the Buddhafield festival in 2009 & chewed the cud) for his succinctness: "Either we reduce the population, or use less or share more" & other snippets I hope to take out from the recordings and write about on the http://freelenders.blogspot.co.uk

As for what I'm planning I hope my footer & http://stleonardstimebank.blogspot.co.uk says it all.
I'd offer to meet in London soon to discuss plans etc, though the #2066 #Timebanking Gallery curating I'm doing is so absorbing/challenging to me that I'm cancelling appointments rather than making them.

Freelender.org enquiry from someone in California wanting to create an online database for a select group (eg sports club) to share their things

Edmund wrote back:

Hi, thank you for the message.

Sure, the way it works is that if you tell us the name of your group, we can set it up. Then you and your friends put this group as your location, so your 'local' search results show the items belonging to people in the group.

These days we often advise people to check out other lending websites to see which ones are most active in their area. Most of the freelenders are in the UK, so we often recommend Streetbank (www.streetbank.com). If you only want to lend and borrow with trusted friends, that's less of an issue of course.

If you'd like to form a group, let us know the group name, which has to be 3 or 4 characters. Or if you have any further questions, let us know.
