Presently there is little communication between the key decision makers in a community and the majority of the residents, and consequently many people feel unempowered. It is our aim to radically improve this, thus engaging & empowering individuals while improving social interaction and local democracy.“Public opinion is undoubtedly the largest superpower on the planet but is still largely uncoordinated.”
Many people do not know enough about the people, groups and businesses in their own communities and are still relatively socially isolated as a result. Also, the process of reducing the cost of living, our carbon footprints and dependency on oil, leading us towards a sustainable and resilient future, largely revolves around connecting to everything that is local.
Many social groups are not making the best use of the web technologies available and consequently struggle to promote their activities, engage existing members and attract new members.
There is a lack of funds that are easily accessible for local community initiatives.
It is very difficult to gauge our progress in relation to climate change without being able to calculate community carbon footprints.
