A quick look at the overall vision behind PlaNet Diss
Step 1 Have a look at this 3 minute video. We made it in May 2020, during the first COVID lockdown, and it reflects the thinking of that time, but it is a short but clear presentation of the overall vision built into PlaNet Diss.
What appeals to you and what do you dislike about the video?
Step 2 Look at the four corners of "The Global Madness"
Crazy throwaway consumption, pollution, inequality
An oppressive economy that mostly benefits the rich
Insane wars
The destruction of the natural world, including global heating
Which of these resonates with you? What would you most like to see changed?
Step 3 What parts of ‘Reinventing communities” appeal to you?
Local Food? Community transport? Help with caring? A local social network?
Giving and receiving favours (especially to save money)?
What would you like help with?
