We live on a planet where on one side we buy smartphones that allow us to post videos on D.Tube and easily earn money from posts on Hive.
On the other side of the planet the children of Madagascar eat cactus leaves, they no longer have access to drinking water. How is that possible?
In Cambodia, a couple of young retirees managed to save 12,000 children from poverty by building a training center where it offers them food, education and access to healthcare.

How can I do something at my level?
For 1 year I have been working with the SEEDS movement to build the foundations of a new economic system that is more respectful of the environment and people. The task is enormous, but if we don't do it now, when and if we won't do it?

After 1 years of discussions I embarked on the construction of a bioregion which corresponds to the catchment area of the Rhône. This organic region brings together two French regions and 3 states of the Swiss Confederation.
Are people ready to give up 500 years of independence to start participating in a new administrative and financial system? You can imagine the many brakes that present themselves.
On the other hand, it makes perfect sense to manage natural resources based on meaningful geographic territories. We can see that the current governments of Nations based on a history of conflict are unable to agree to release the necessary means to fight against global warming.
So everything has to be rebuilt!
It is not a task that can be done in a few months, but it will probably take several decades. This is the time needed to build a new civilization.
Someone has to start. if not me who? If not now, when?
I cordially invite you to join me in solving the problems of the Rhône valley.
