How will it be our future society? Imagine a world without war, poverty, misery, or injustice. Imagine a world of Love, Peace, Abundance, Tolerance, Freedom where all people could work together in a spirit of cooperation and not competition. Imagine a world where we could all develop the best of our potential as individuals and as a global family… A young and spirited 93 years old man Jacques Fresco, the creator of the Venus Project, has been working all his life to achieve these aims, dreaming a sustainable world and working passionately to make it come true. Would you imagine if we all shared the same dream and we could all dedicate part of our lives to make it happen? Would you imagine if all the people and institutions within the Wiser Earth network worked together and spent part of our time designing our common future? This is what the Zeitgeist Movement and the Venus Project are trying to accomplish. More than 350.000 people have already joined the Project. You are welcome to networking with us. Your ideas and suggestions will help us to realise our common dream.
Kind regards, David Wilson |
