  Free Digital Universe

Starter:   PeacePortal
Date Created:  May 1, 2008
[view]
Description:   The Free Digital Universe (FDU) is a non-violent Virtual World that serves as a Charitable Fundraiser, social forum, and personal wealth empowerment tool for thriving in the Information Age. ...
Goals:   Our objestives include: 1) Providing a way out poverty for Emerging Markets which does not take from the natural resources of the local environment. 2) Offering a secure common, global, unencumbered medium of echange which treats & compensates everyone equally. 3) Provide a global law forum where living people may interact more like Souls (equal under Nature) than Citizens of competing countries. 4) Create a monetary system free of debt, backed not so much by physical assets (Earths Resources) but mainly on elements of human creativity such as educating, music, art, literature, and service; where "value" is created from human elements of creativity (music, words, art) rather than natural resources. A equal system where one can shoot an animal video instead of an animal, and provide wealth for their family earned by digital sales to a global audience. 5) Support Charities which can implement solutions - see www.peaceportal.mobi
