Exercise5: improvising



EXCHANGE   
The political economists argued two centuries ago that economies are based on three  
functions: production, consumption, and exchange. This is also bartering system. 
In exchange more you give, richer you are. It is opposite of  consuption based living 
There should be a new definition for work and living.And it is exchanging  goods and services. 
instead of possession people are sharing their  time,skills and anything between each other. 
this is a way of shaking our robotic life. Our internet is a big pool of gift and sharing.
 It is a free source to learn and create. With our expanding internet, new websites and 
 projects like uniiverse,wikipedia, timebanking,skillshare,snapgoods,meal exchange is  
becoming bigger and sharing is rising. Other than consuption and money based living 
There is no need for domination or competition. Sharing is establishing a link between people 
and  also it is creating happiness and  trust. It is developing  social ties and obligations in community. 
Which is a win win situation. 
More you give is more you get!

TEM 
People in Greek found a way out from their economic crisis. 
The group’s concept is simple. People sign up online and get access  
to a database that is kind of like a members-only Craigslist. One unit  
of TEM is equal in value to one euro, and it can be used to exchange  
good and services. Members start their accounts with zero, and they  
accrue credit by offering goods and services. They can borrow up to  
300 TEMs, but they are expected to repay the loan within 
fixed period of time.

It is a Canadian youth-driven charity.They are sharing food to minimize the hunger and make people reach healty foods.
