Whilst ideas bounced back and forth between the attendees, a flashback - Dr Gail Bradbrook, who was present at our 'People and Money' event and share with us her vision to get people economically literate with Street School Economics.
I invite you to visit her website to learn more about Money, Corruption, Tax Justice etc.
I copied below some of the actions Street School Economics suggest to start initiating change in our current economic system. I hope it will inspire you!
Actions you can take as an individual/family
- Build you resilience by reducing your dependence on a failing system
- Reduce your need for energy for heating and transport
- Reduce your debts and resist the pull to shop for things you don't need
- Grow food at home and on allotments
- Be an active part of your community join local initiatives
- Join a campaign or union fight back (e.g. Positive Money Tax Justice Uk
- Move your money from corrupt banks to ethical providers
- Shop local ethical and fairtrade, join coops who supplies your energy?
- Stay healthy, fasting and seasonal local food helps
- Get informed outside the mainstream fore warned is forearmed and have fun
- Spread economic literacy - share street school economics
Actions that can be taken at a community level
- Develop a local currency like the Stroud pound
- Develop a local community supported agriculture
- Promote boycotts of tax dodging companies
- Develop a local farmers market and online local shop
- Increase community owned renewable energy
- Become a transition town and look for ways to localise the economy
