Testing the water. (context: Poland)
I am permanently dumbstruck by the wealth of neglected opportunities for cooperative social ventures. There are many needs created by hostile capitalist modernity, that can be fulfilled in a win-win manner: affordable for customers, justly paid for providers.
In TePeWu we are working towards starting some such projects, and I am curious if anyone here is thinking along similar ways. To me, it is a reasonable first step towards building a solarpunk society.
Examples in Polish context:
- Healthcare cooperatives formed by patients, hiring medical practitioners to take care of them and possibly for outside persons as well.
- Short-term hostels and storage facilities for people evicted, to give them a bridge, before they find a permanent place again.
- R&D and manufacturing of functional food mixes, helping people to cope with ADD/ADHD, depression, anxiety etc. etc.
If anyone is interested in a deeper conversation, I am happy to have it.
