WE are working to solve the climate crisis by offering free  EDUCATION that addresses not only the Planet, but our place as holistic people in it, so we can learn to be better Stewards. 

As beings with a Mind, Spirit, Physical, and a few other dimensional bodies through which we experience our world; we must take a holistic approach to our Self, change parts of Our Self perspective about our responsibility to planet and all the life on it.

One of the biggest problems of present society is the effect of overall change and acceleration on human psychology. Neither individual minds nor collective culture seem able to cope with the unpredictable change and growing complexity. Stress, uncertainty and frustration increase, minds are overloaded with information, knowledge fragments, values erode, negative developments are consistently overemphasized, while positive ones are ignored. The resulting climate is one of nihilism, anxiety and despair. While the wisdom gathered in the past has lost much of its validity, we don't have a clear vision of the future either. As a result, there does not seem to be anything left to guide our actions.

To truly get real about solving the climate crisis, or the related poverty and human rights crisis, or any other global issues common to humanity, requires having a basic set of foundational agreements about:
1) What the common root cause of these problems are; and
2) What constitutes a sustainable solution.

We believe it self-evident that the common cause is the Industrial Age economic model that creates money out of thin air, then requires the living people and the Earth pay the bill in labor or natures resources. When peoples labor pays the bill a debt crisis is eventually created with poverty the inevitable result; when nature pays the bill the environment is damaged. Only a few hundred years old, this economic model based on competiton and conflict has left our children a legacy of debt and a withering planetary environment.   Read More »
One purpose of the FDU design is to provide a comprehensive Information Age economic model that sustainably addresses extreme global poverty, over-use of natural resources, and unequal compensation in a globalized world. Our Game is designed to improve the human and planetary condition by supporting humanitarian partners with the capacity to resolve issues related to lack of basic resources in health care, education, jobs, fair wages, food, water, and shelter.

If we trace the causes of poverty, the above mentioned issues, and of environmental degradation on a planeary scale we will find they all have a common root-cause, the Industrial Age economic model. The FDU Game will test a Information Age economic model.   Read More »
