HowtoPedia
Author: David ZwolskiImagine that any answer that starts with “How To” is available in one point.
How to get sustainable?
How to fix my application?
How to stop my boyfriends snore?
HowtoPedia is just such a project, build on the same engine and principals as Wikipedia. And as Wikipedia, it has a damaging impact ontoeconomics, since its providing abundance of information free of charge. This non-profit website located in Zurich, Switzerland choose their goal to “become the reference for people looking for resources for empowerment”. HowtoPedia promotes simple technologies in all areas of daily life that focuses on a bottom-up strategy. It collects and disseminates self-help resources and know-how in order to facilitate the local self-organization worldwide.

HowtoPedia is a young project in development that is in need of contributions and readers. Howto projects are divided into difficulty, budget allowing to find a challenge for anyone. Any person who is especially interested into sustainability or just maybe you had a project lurking in the back of your mind, or has a budget to work on, Howtopedia is your first stop for information.

I believe the most basic and easiest way to begin to change the world is to place yourself in the shoes of the other person, empathy really releases you from racism, bigotry and prejudice. Forgiveness and intention to teach the wrongdoer a better way, and then to move on with your life the way you want to live it…with peace, understanding and creativity.

Hi All,
Before you forge ahead, a resource of the nature you describe/seek would seem to already exist: http://appropedia.org. In the interest of collaboration and not re-inventing the wheel, may I suggest you get in touch with Chris Watkins (one of the Directors, easily googled) to talk?

How do you change the human condition of Greed? Change this and you will succeed with your project.

greed is not an inbuilt instinct, it is something we humans have acquired, learnt; for survival and have never put down. overcoming greed itself is not the goal, the goal is to make abundant what we need, and our tool for doing this is knowledge. let people learn for them selves what they need to know, and they will go about doing whatever they must do to feel satisfied, all they need is the opportunity.
