"As dangerous as the election of Trump is for the world, we can also see
in this moment the truth that we simply cannot rely on the electoral
political system to save us, because it is designed to prevent the
fundamental change we need.
We are the ones we are looking for, who can and must grasp the opportunities in these crises that are undoubtedly there."
The Rebuilding Exchange is a
non-profit social enterprise (501c3) and our mission is to create a
market for reclaimed building materials. We do this by diverting
materials from landfills and making them accessible for reuse through
our retail warehouse, by promoting sustainable deconstruction practices,
by providing education and job training programs, and by creating
innovative models for sustainable reuse.
Introducing SCiO, a pocket molecular sensor that scans your food and reveals its nutritional value and other characteristics. Good stuff SCiO and DietSensor
Now we just need a pocket MRI scanner for humans and we're good to go!
"We have also constructed a global communication infrastructure, like a
planetary nervous system, that allows humanity to communicate instantly,
from anywhere across the globe. Now we could, in theory, make use of
this electronic nervous system to raise the consciousness of the planet,
building a collective movement toward social and ecological
transformation."

Finalist: James Godsil
James Godsil is a Milwaukee renaissance man.
After
working with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference as a civil
rights organizer, a bodyguard for Martin Luther King, a Fulbright
Scholar in Tunis, and a political science professor, at 28 Godsil came
to Milwaukee -- and found home.
For 30 years, Godsil was a
roofer, growing Godsil Community Roofing and Restoration. At the same
time, he mentored countless aspiring contractors who have built
successful careers acrossMilwaukee. At the same Godsil planted seeds all
over the Milwaukee community as a prolific activist, organizer, and
storyteller.
Then, at 60, he began volunteering for Growing Power.
Taking
significant financial risk, Godsil invested himself entirely into
renovating a century old abandoned Bay View railroad factory in 2008 to
launch Sweet Water Organics -- the nation's largest aquaponic farm. He
also created Sweetwater Foundation to educate Milwaukee school children,
veterans, and the community about agriculture, nutrition, biology, and
environment. The Foundation has a network of 25 schools locally and
nation-wide.
And THIS, is a huge new discovery for me about this Lightworker:
The Work is a simple yet powerful process of inquiry that teaches
you to identify and question the thoughts that cause all the suffering
in the world. It’s a way to understand what’s hurting you, and to
address the cause of your problems with clarity. In its most basic form,
The Work consists of fours questions and the turnarounds.
