Creating a Commons

So the funky people at United Diversity launched a(nother) world changing initiative in January this year. I happened to be at the launch where Josef talked about the Commons Creation.
The idea behind Commons Creation is very simple - if we all pool our resources collectively then we can make much better use of them and our shared knowledge/energy thus work better together to make a betetr world. Founding member Josef's aim has always been to organise and participate in a bio-diesel tour to Spain, taking in all the cool eco- world changing projects and communities and to end up in Buenache, Spain to build a small eco-village.
A group of people known as the Commons Creation Collective have been paying into the Commons Fund since January this year in order to build up the resources and now 8 months on it looks like we are about to acquire some land.
Things are slowly moving forward - if you want to know more about Commons Creation go here.
