Social Economy in Basel. – Solar Energy and Urban Agriculture
A board member of FWOP has been working to develop a social economy for the underemployed and the unemployed in Basel for some ten years. www.viavia.ch/netzbon
The social economy Basel www.viavia.ch/netzbon is about to start a company to democratically invest in neighbourhood energy production. The first project is a 44,000kw/year 300m2 solar energy roof plant in a neighbourhood. Citizen controlled neighbourhood sovereignty in energy is the theme.
One of our urban agriculture projects – the permaculture community garden - made the final list for an award. Getting the award will also depend on whether the population will vote for it. Citizes were able to vote at www.faktor5.baz.ch until June 1st , and you see the pictures and short texts for all finalists. Google translator will no doubt be helpful.
They recently received an award. Here is a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3vRX3js89k
,
Isidor Wallimann of our FWOP Board is the
President Social Economy Association and Network Cooperative and the President Urban Agriculture Association Basel
This is one approach to maintaining a quality life with limit income in a rich industrial society. The Social Economy of Basel has their own local currency ( BonNetzBon) as in many cities of Germany.
