support this idea

Whats your Action Idea?

It's an app on https://selbermacherei.hoog.at, that will be used online for searching for traded ressources or adding own ones to share them with neighbors, charity-building and similar projects are planned to get referred there to share food, lend some tools, post suggestions and focusing on neighborhood & humanity. The offline-part being about meeting with people who likes to connect with others than just buying new stuff that's designed by machines.

What do you need to realize your idea?

That virtual place getting scripted, while I personally coded some interactive HTML-games and technically it needs open-minds of people who were using this app too.

How does your idea help our fight for fair and sustainable food system?

Users could either refer to their regrown seeds, either if they use their balcony or just trading food that's more efficient in buying as bigger quantity to save wrappings if it refers to groceries. Other objects could be offered there too, like jars for fermenting vegetables or fruits, same as focusing on manual ways of trading. A voting-feature could refer to reviewing other users by trust or if their posted suggestions sounded helpful or if hosting a group for cooking were successful. Posts are planned to have different options, like restricting them to friends, specific person or generally open for all viewers.

Why is your idea a winner?

It unites neighbors with possible new people and the more people would get inspired, it could get users into designing than just desiring stuff that's labelled as "new". Also users wouldn't just get a secondhand-object, if sympathy fits they could even win a new friend too.

Have you already tried the action idea? If so, tell us what you experienced!?

Its script is still under development, while screenshot's previews are available on the web, so finding people that get interested in it, could spread the thought of minimalism than consumption, borrowing than owning & sharing than keeping up space.
