During the OpenCoop Work Summercamp there have been 6 meetings about Circular Economy, either more general or more specific on tools (e.g. FairMarket).
As an area of interest, it's been quite some time that FairCoop has been looking into ways of building a self-sustainable circular flow of goods and services at all different scales: from local, to regional, to continental, to worldwide, using Faircoin. During the Summercamp we decided to introduce this Area of OpenCoop work in order to coordinate all the different groups/tools involved, and also to expand our CE to new places and initiatives. We also had the opportunity to put some new ideas in practice and work on ones that were already active, as you may see in more detail below.
General goal
To boost the real economy of the FairCoop ecosystem
Aims of Circular Economy Area
Facilitate, above all, a Fair Circular Economy for every local community involved in the ecosystem, and contribute to its homeostasis.
Dinamize real economy exchanges in the FairCoop ecosystem, including different local nodes and places at every scale.
Make field research on productive options by bioregions, create statistics and communication channels.
Organize and dynamizing logistics at different scales.
Dynamize collective orders in Fairmarket and promote global exchange campaigns in a holistic approach, in order not only to facilitate real exchanges but also to bring attention onto a wide scope view of the regional situations involved: Ecologic, socio.political, cultural, legal, health, access to resources, etc.
Promote Fairmarket, Usefaircoin and Freedomcoop use for circular economy.
Call key global suppliers to accept Faircoin
Extend FreedomCoop and assist in the creation of analogs of in other continents
Support new coops involvement in the FairCoop ecosystem.
