Congratulations to the winners, a big vote of thanks to all who have become involved in this wonderful challenge of Suzanne's. We have a catalyst. We have a duty to ensure we progress to a healed and happy world. I wonder what's next ? Whaddaya think Good People ?
But first things first.... RESTACK !! Get the words out there. Maurice
That was such an inspiring contest! Yes, let's unite our ideas, visions and the power of our communities. How can we change the world?! Such a challenging question. It was a delight to read the 20 finalists and their amazing stories. My story is based on a real project, which I have been implementing in my city since about a year. The vision of the Circularity Club has taken form and is no longer something in my head, but a real place with real people and a true energy to reinvent our world.
Our journey at 2ndish - The Circularity Club has just begun, and I will need all the support, cheers and collective creativity to establish my vision. Follow my journey towards a new fashion ecosystem on Instagram (@2ndish) or connect with me on LinkedIn (Marie-Lune Simard) to see how we're making a difference. Let's join forces and build a new world where our economic system serves both the people and the environment.
Congratulations to all the winners in this fabulously well conceived essay competition. You have set the doves flying, Suzanne. Let's fly with the ideas to make them a reality.
Wow. Congratulations to all the winners. I do hope to see the unfolding of these projects and maybe even some co-creation. Best of luck to the winners and also everyone else that put their heartbeats into this.
My entry was the number 2 on the list. The Untold Tale of how we came to Collaborate (or something like that, I can't quite remember, ;P)
It's been wonderful to get to meet some new folks and hear about heart-mind-felt initiatives. If people resonated with some of my vision, shared on my essay, the good news is that is is already slowly happening. If you subscribe to C-Lab (https://theclab.substack.com/p/start-here) you will be helping get the lab out into the world. My hope is to create resources for all ages and communities free of charge so people can just re-member how to live in alignment with the rhythm of life (and death). The menstrual cycle being an important rhythm to remember. I'm all about collaboration so reach out! :-)
If anyone wants to put the winning idea into action, they should get in touch with the Re-Action Collective, who are doing something very similar very well (currently focusing on outdoor clothing & kit specifically). The founder (Gavin Fernie-Jones) even lives in the mountains... Here's the link: https://re-action-collective.org/
H Paddy, thanks or the links - I am busy contacting authors and grass roots groups, inc Gavin. I'll be promoting you + Gonna order your book PDF, buy you four hours next week. I won't go anywhere near Amazon - they are part of the problem. Success, Maurice
This was fun to read. Were you aware that two of the winners are engaged to each other? Curious if that’s just random or how you explain that coincidence… fun to read!
The essay centers on the real-world personal action that will save humankind from unprecedented increased suffering due to global warming. Some of you already are onboard with this action. For those of you who are not, hopefully you will be inspired to be onboard going forward. Choose your legacy to be that you were the solution, rather than the problem - you minimized, rather than continued, your greenhouse gas emissions. For all, take action yourself, and (ever so important) tenaciously encourage others to do the same.
Here is the required action as described in the essay.
Consumers (individuals, organizations, businesses, governments) must promptly minimize their greenhouse gas emissions to bridge the gap while we work on long-term green technology and infrastructure. Less heating and less cooling (none between 13C-30C/55F-85F, https://greenbetween.home.blog). Less driving. Less flying. Less meat-eating. Less population growth (2 children max). Do it yourself. Tenaciously encourage others to do it.
Embrace the message and tenaciously introduce the message "business card" to all you encounter. You can print the business card 12 per 8.5x11 using a file from the Promote page of the website.

Huge congratulations, and I look forward to next year's updates on how the projects are going!! (kidding not kidding?)
Great contest. All winners! Let's continue to write and speak a beauty-filled world into reality!

Congratulations to the winners. Thanks to Suzanne.
This is my entry. I probably should have titled it 'Burn your Money to Save the World'

Zoom gatherings for each of the winners.

Currently busy contacting, authors and grassroot initiatives to further our ambition.
Hi Paddy, just sent you four hours. Looking forward to reading your PDF.

Hi Folks,
Take a look at my essay titled "The Consumer Revolution That Saved Humankind". https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zeswAk-8KPq8GrWw6jpjkj-FlF7YSHCGlRHFgPb6ISo/edit?usp=drivesdk
