Capeing the crisis

Parece que fue ayer cuando empecé este blog, pensado para contar las iniciativas que surgían en plenacrisis, para aprender a vivir de otra manera y aprovechar las oportunidades que tenemos al lado y que no vemos, sin gastar mucho. Pero este mes, en el que ha cumplido seis años, Capeando la crisis se cierra.Capeando la crisis Capeando la crisis

Six righteous years, since November 2013, in which I have been telling here everything I have discovered, thanks to many people and organizations, who have taught me the way to flee the consumerism of buy-utirar as if there were no morning.That there are places where daily objects are repaired such as the repair coffee, which can continue to be used, or the elongation campaign, of friends of the Earth, a directory of establishments that extend the useful life of the products to fight against theTerrible programmed obsolescence.

That there is an ethical bank, although this seems an oxymoron, a social banking, whose products are not conditioned exclusively by the criterion of maximum benefit and speculation, such as Fiare, Triodos Bank or Coop 57, among others.

Also, a sustainable fashion that has brows brands that work with other more ethical criteria, contrary to the exploitation and in favor of people and the environment.That you can exchange clothes that are no longer used instead of buying or recycling what you have, transforming it into another piece.Or that you can travel to other countries exchanging the house, buying cheaper tickets or sharing a car and that there are platforms and companies dedicated to selling food without plastic wrappings, bulk and kilometer zero.That there are time banks, where the currency is that, the time you provide or lend you to carry out work in the community and that many locations already work with their own local currencies.

Capeando la crisis

There have been many platforms that have fed this blog with their collaborative, social economy initiatives, such as Reas, the network of social and solidarity economy networks;of circular economy, such as the Foundation of Circular Economics;or new economy and social innovation, such as the Nesi forum.

Inciative of individuals who have later become sound campaigns such as those fighting food waste, in general, and in hospital schools and centers, in particular.Mobility initiatives, ecosocial housing, kitchen, organic products, exchange of textbooks, collegial uniforms ...

Collective purchases, arising from below, from the citizens themselves, to achieve better prices in energy, gasoline, gas or medical insurance and the creation of green energy from all corners of the country that have cheaper costs.

Movements such as B Corporation formed by people who use the strength of companies to solve social and environmental problems and who, unlike companies that only pursue economic benefits, meet levels of social and environmental performance, public transparency and positive impact commitment.Or SANNAS, a business organization, which aims to extend another way of understanding economic activity: that which considers that there is an economic balance, another ecological and a social.

At this time, we have known another way to finance projects without going to the bank's credits, because micromelezgo platforms have been created: contributions from people who have made possible the realization of films, the publication of books or the implementation ofsmall businesses, cooperatives, citizen mobilization initiatives ...

There have been so many published activities, that cite them all is impossible for me.Thank you very much to all, to those who have sent me the information of all of them, to the readers, to whom I hope it has been useful, and 20 minutes to house the crisis.Thanks and until ever.
