Roxanne Meadows explains why they are trademarking

Why has The Venus Project the term RBE trademarked?

Why has The Venus Project trademarked the term Resource-Based Economy?

The reason The Venus Project is trade-marking the term Resource-based Economy is Jacque Fresco has been working on this system most of his 93 years. This is an integrated system to provide for humanity holistically which includes all aspects of human need. He has been working toward a resource-based economy in order to do away with the major aberrations of war, poverty, hunger, etc.

Jacque Fresco coined the term Resource-based Economy which is the foundation that provides the parameters for social design. Throughout the years, people have taken The Venus Project’s pictures, designs, architecture, language, and the name Resource-based Economy, to raise funds claiming to build a Resource- based Economy without collaborating with us in any way. They usurp the name, some of the procedures, and models, but use their own interpretation of a Resource-based Economy.

After examining their interpretations closely, we feel the procedures they suggest will not work. The Venus Project cannot take responsibility for other interpretations of our work. Others use the name Resource-based Economy, but interpret it in their own way and then raise funds for a different direction. Riding on the coat tails of Fresco’s work. This is detrimental to our efforts to raise funds for building a new city or making a major motion picture about our aims.

We’d prefer not to trademark, but our predatory society encourages people to capitalize on the efforts of others.

The reason we trademark the name Resource-based Economy is so that the integrity of our direction is maintained. We would not mind people using the term Resource-based Economyand our photos if they consulted and worked with us, and if their efforts promoted the true direction of a Resource-based Economy as proposed by The Venus Project.

Many different groups usurping our name and material for their own purposes, bastardizes our social designs and architecture. If you wish to know more about the proposals of The Venus Project and a Resource-based Economy, please review:

Gilbert Ismail doesn't solve world hunger

Chapters Project: World Hunger can be solved

Hello everyone  ,

I have been working on this concept for a while and i think the time is right to throw the idea out and get working on it.

I gladly present a chapter project: World Hunger can be solved

Project introduction:

World hunger can be solved is a proposed chapter collaborative project in which we take a specific issue in society today and put it in a different daylight. The aim will be to do an intensified campaign over a certain time period with the chapters to spread mass awareness and understanding about how we as a species allow each other to starve while the technology available today could feed the world’s population many times over.
With the current number of chapters and movement members we will be able to spread a direct message about our view and direction for society that can solve these problems and help people understand what their role in this situation is.

Means and objectives:

To successfully accomplish the campaigns goals we will utilize packages with relevant and concrete information about technology that is able to produce enough to meet the world food demand if it were utilized on the right scale combined with media and articles that highlight the flaws in the current system that is making it impossible to support such an endeavor.
First and foremost we would be giving away packages with a suggestive name to draw attention of the receiving public. This will be accompanied by flyers / dvd’s and should be leaning toward the positive rather than the negative. Of course we will make sure that the campaign is linked back to TZM.com by showing a visual logo and text of TZM on these packages and flyers.

The goals of this campaign summarized would be:

1. To spread awareness about technology that could help us a species
2. Try to make people understand why people are starving on one side of the planet and not on the other.
3. Gain attention for the ideas of a resource based economy
4. Increase support for TZM and TVP

Coordination:

To make sure that the campaign will be succesfull, we will run the campaign mainly with the chapters. That means that the international meetings or seperate meetings will serve as the main communication platform for preparations and ideas.

The participating chapters will then be asked to coordinate the endeavour and preparations in their countries. We start globally at the agreed starting date for the campaign and measure the impact and success to the best of our ability. Ideally we will let the campaign run for 2 or 3 weeks with maximum chapter dedication.

Each chapter will gather a team to spread the flyers and materials and contact the local media to gain attention for the campaign. Every week during the campaign we will meet once or twice to measure developments and handle any questions or concerns by consulting eachother.

Media and package

The idea is to create a package with relevant information and give it a suggestive name. Like starvation aid kit or World hunger solution package. Something within this line of thinking and to make it look like a gift.

I have already asked Apollo to design a flyer and we can ask more creative people in th emovement to come up with other clever media to support the success of the campaign.

UPDATE

Flyer version 0001. By Apollo  TEXT is just a sample. Please share ideas.

Your input is needed

To make this project / campaign a success all great ideas are needed. Now is the time to be active in the movement and i know there are a lot of people with great ideas here.
