The Occupy Movement can transform the global marketplace, but what would that change look like, and how do we get there from here?<br />
<br />
At "Occupy: Reconomy" we believe that business must serve local community needs and put people and planet ahead of profit, and we're making this change happen. Beginning with pilots for self-reliant marketplaces now being developed in India, the United States, and Costa Rica, we are discussing, designing, and implementing this economic renaissance.<br />

At "Occupy: Reconomy" we believe that business must serve local community needs and put people and planet ahead of profit, and we're making this change happen. Beginning with pilots for self-reliant marketplaces now being developed in India, the United States, and Costa Rica, we are discussing, designing, and implementing this economic renaissance.<br />
<br />
Our core team members from four continents invite anyone interested to join us and be the change you want to see in the world. The core strategy is to pay people with the money of the future to build community power plants that will sell energy at a discount when purchased with that money. This is an open source model that facilitates sharing ideas and lessons such that we achieve crowd-accelerated innovation to accomplish the fastest evolution of the system.<br />
