Mission

Sustainability Advocacy Organization that focuses on:

Awareness, Activism and Community.

Started in 2008 by Peter Joseph as an activist arm of the Venus Project.

Awareness – International, State and City Chapters.

Activism – Project Teams such as media project and technology teams.

Community – Charities such as food drives and other community projects.

Purpose

Move on from monetary based Socio-Economic Model to a Resource Based “Natural Law” Economy.

From believing problems such as Poverty, War, Starvation and Pollution

are the sole result of Corruption, Scarcity, or just Human Nature.

And trying to fix them through a damaged system of:

Monetary exchange, Business and Profit

to:

a Direct Technical Approach Based on:

Resource Management, Allocation and Design using the

Scientific Method to reason problems and find optimal solutions.

Focusing on a Train of thought, instead of:

Political figures, Platforms, Institutions or Country.

Viewing the world as a Single System-

The Human Species as One Family.

Utilizing all forms of non-violent communication.

Recognizing the need for all countries to apply the long-term goal of disarming and sharing resources and ideas if we ever expect to survive in the long run.
