An idea worth spreading

Shouldn't all the available disc space of all the public organisation be available for the public? Imagine you have a need: no access to water, why can't you go the UN website and find a Virtual Open Office where people can introduce that problem and find immediately help AND online assistance of people that have time & relevant help to offer .. via chat or webphone. And let the society organise it ..like wikipedia but : I need / I can help with .. and all retired or people with time and knowledge available can log-on and help.. maybe that person may know an NGO that's only a couple of km away, or the way to a micro-credit system, and the person in pain just didn't know. Thanks for reading.

Talk to me about

Kyoto Protocol/+10M€ CO2e-Reducing Projects, OLPCO2e, If you're a player, probably I can bring the other parties to the table to close the deal.

• A reply on Talk: Allan Savory: How to fight desertification and reverse climate change

  2 days ago: So it's a matter to force animals to quickly eat whatever gras / herbs and not be too picky and selective over a large patch of land - within limits of course?

• A reply on Talk: Sebastião Salgado: The silent drama of photography

  May 2 2013: "The Man Who Planted Trees" by Jean Giono. Was turned into a prize winning animation. A gem ! The illustrations of Sebastiao SALGADO showing the barren land of his families' land and a little decade later, completely lush reforestated are really what happened and is shown in "The Man Who Planted Trees". Another confirmation this can truly happen.

• A reply on Talk: Sugata Mitra: Build a School in the Cloud

  Apr 25 2013: Me neither, I hated most of what we needed to learn. But I have the impression that school doesn't exist anymore. In 20 years, things have evolved considerably.

• A reply on Talk: Sugata Mitra: Build a School in the Cloud

  Apr 25 2013: I don't underestimate how and what teaching just is in most of the world. True, that kind of education we don't need. For the rest, in my rich part of the world, "the machine" is continuously discussed at the academic level, political level, teachers are good and all these "alternative" teaching methods, as far as I can see it are integrated.

  A comment on Talk: Alan Russell: The potential of regenerative medicine

  Dec 14 2012: Can we all vote thumbs up to have an annual update of this talk, pls?

• A reply on Talk: Alan Russell: The potential of regenerative medicine

  Dec 14 2012: Yes, but these are balanced by those who try to reduce the costs. Driving up prices and costs upto the point where a brilliant treatment cannot be paid for by the national healthcare plan, is not going to generate optimally either. I hope law/politically translated insights and research will balance the egoism of the few.

  Dec 14 2012: Patents to expire. If necessary, the law-maker and democratic forces will review or add a paragraph to existing regulation to correct abuse. People once could fall in slavery because one had debts, and the bargain was: ok send your son in slavery for 20 years and then he'll be freed, given a piece of land and the parent's debt would be erased too. The logic is still in place in certain regions, but when known, the slave owner is sanctioned because it is against the Universal Human Rights.
