New York City Bulletin Board

for building happier villages...where people easily find common interests.

 

This board is a tool for people finding what they share in common – interests, intentions, visions.  A place to connect, share, trade, organize.  All who want to build this happier village are welcome.

We can have a new Chicago west side by recognizing that time is money.  And by organizing to use this currency. 
 
In our community, money talks, and dollars are increasingly scarce.  We don't need to be stopped.  Using time as money helps organizations collaborate with one another and empower their clients.  It can empower us all and bring us all closer to one another.

We changed ourselves and our block became Green.  This Green-Block Starter Kit emerged from the process that we went through. 

We hope to encourage many blocks to become Green and then for our Green Village to inspire other villages to become Green.

Hi Villagers,

When you're shopping this holiday season, please consider a gift I'm passionate about. It's a film I co-wrote and produced with a life-saving, anti-smoking story we can give to people who care about children -- parents, teachers, even a school you'd like to support. It's $15 to download the film. And for $35 you can gift a teacher or a school with the Educators Package (the film, Teacher's Guide, and soundtrack).
