A todo list for our community

April 26, 2006 at 1:27 am | In the Commons, meaning in life, humanize, note to self, globalchicago |

Interesting beginning of a list here from FootprintsintheWind.com

  • Ecological clean-up and sustainability implementation.
  • Climate change mitigation.
  • Urban restoration.
  • Improving literacy levels globally.
  • Feeding, clothing, sheltering, education, and inspiring billions of humans.
  • Ensuring decent care for the growing percentage (sic) of elderly in our societies.
  • Providing learning and creative opportunities for all.

Doug goes on with his own list. I’m thinking of doing the same. Am more likely to do it if I publish this starter, rather than leave it in my drafts folder forever.

  1. All right Ted. Get busy with your list. Many of us (a whole world full) are waiting for it…

  3. You’re quite the task-master, Doug! :-)

    Alright, I’ll just go with what I’ve been thinking about lately:

    * Safe public space, including the transportation system - I love what cityrepair is doing in Portland, OR
    * Opportunities for people to contribute their talents without just feeling they give and give and receive nothing in return (I’ll write more about the flows you asked about in another post)
    * Car-free Sundays - no, not the whole neighborhood or city, but selected areas - Lake Shore Drive for one, maybe the entire Boulevard system - this goes with my first point, but is different b/c this is more of a special event while that one is more everyday
