If you are interested in being a part of the movement that is creating a resource-based economy, there are multiple things you can do to help make this dream become a reality. Whether you are looking to build machines that help automate various production processes, design websites and platforms to help in the organization and distribution of information, live in a community that is adopting these principles, or just looking to educate your family and friends on this topic, there are numerous things that you can do. Below is a list of many of the most common ways people are contributing to this movement.
Get Involved
If you’re tired of talking about it and you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and do the work it takes to materialize the new world, or if you simply want to devote some of your time to a good cause, we’re always looking to expand our network. We practice inclusiveness, collaboration and compassionate communication in the MoSo spaces. Join our teams comprised of people from all around the world with a common goal – to build the bridge to tomorrow. (Newbies welcome to apply, too!)

Spread the Message
MoSo is striving to combat the current system at the same rate said system strives to consume us all in its destructive wake of competition and inequality. In order to effectively beat the machine at its own game, we must cover a lot of ground, both geographically and virtually. Half the battle is spreading awareness of today’s issues, helping people to shake off the daze of indoctrination that has led our society down a volatile path towards total ecological and economical collapse. You can make a big impact by simply subscribing to and sharing our content on your favorite platform. The more that others see people like you taking a stand and marching into the future with confidence, the more others will feel supported in taking that step for themselves. You can find us on over 15 different platforms by clicking here.
Fund The Transition
What’s this? , you say. “You need money to build a Moneyless Society?
Have you ever built a deck from repurposed lumber? Or repaired a newer car with interchangeable parts from an older one? Does the term “retrofitting” ring a bell? How about the phrase “build the new world with the bones of the old one”? Your probably get the hint by now, but for clarity’s sake, the following –
Societal collapse should not be the goal, nor it so a feasible one if we, the human race, actually intend to survive the currently dire ecological and economical conditions. After all, every new phase of existence is but a new evolution of the previous socioeconomic model. Instead, Moneyless Society proposes a transition be facilitated through which the salvageable and purposeful infrastructure of today lends to the new, resilient and regenerative framework of tomorrow. In short, we can use money to obsolete money by applying its value directly to the people and projects that are actively building the new world – a Resource Based Economy.

Movements
We’re not the only one’s trying to change the world. (Thank goodness!) There are several movements that are working to raise awareness about the current situation and the prospect of a resource-based economy. Here’s a brief list of the top organizations on whose shoulders we stand. You can learn more about the history of this movement from the links below.
The Zeitgeist Movement
If you are just learning about the concept of a resource based economy and a moneyless society, probably the best place for you to start is to watch the Zeitgeist Trilogy. The Zeitgeist Movement is the largest and most well-known movement actively spreading awareness for this cause. Originally founded by Peter Joseph in 2008, it is the logical extension and next step that evolved from the now highly-popular Zeitgeist Trilogy (Zeitgeist: The Movie, Zeitgeist: Addendum, and Zeitgeist: Moving Forward) If you have not seen the Zeitgeist Trilogy you can view all three movies on You Tube for free by clicking the links above.
You can also participate in their online discussion forum and get in contact with one of their local chapters to help raise awareness in your area.
The Venus Project
Jacque Fresco started the Venus Project many years ago along with his assistant, Roxanne Meadows, as an organization to promote and implement a resource based economy. Jacque has drafted many, many, designs for inventions to be used in a resource based economy, and also has several videos out that provide a great deal of information about the organization. They are currently in the process of producing a full-feature motion picture that will depict life in a resource based economy.

Wikis
One of the best and most constructive ways for people to get involved is by contributing to a Wiki. A wiki is a platform for a website that allows any user to edit, add, and remove content as each user sees fit. Wikis make possible collaborative efforts from many different people, in various locations, who would otherwise most likely have never worked on a project together. It is a way to greatly accelerate the processes of research, information gathering and organization, and reaching a general consensus among many people.
Resource Based Cooperative
This is a wiki designed with the purpose of forming a cooperative corporation which will produce and distribute open source automation systems to be sold for profit. The profit will be used to initially to go into a trust fund for a resource based community and to support members of the cooperative, as decided by consensus. and will be reinvested back into the corporation and community to further its progress towards the goal of creation of a resource-based economy.

Farm Bot
FarmBots are open-source, scalable, automated precision farming machines. Think of them like giant 3D printers, but instead of wielding plastic extruders, its tools are seed injectors, watering nozzles, plows, sensors, and more.

Open Source Ecology
Open Source Ecology is accelerating the growth of the next economy – the Open Source Economy – an economy that optimizes both production and distribution – while promoting environmental regeneration and social justice. We are building the Global Village Construction Set. This is a high-performance, modular, do-it-yourself, low-cost platform – that allows for the easy fabrication of the 50 different industrial machines that it takes – to build a small, sustainable civilization with modern comforts.

RBEM Wiki – Resource-Based Economic Model
RBEM Wiki is a website devoted to collecting and sharing objective and empirical information about the Resource-Based Economic Model (RBEM), originally described by Jacque Fresco. It also welcomes its use by any movements, projects and supporting groups who intend to implement some form RBEM.

Projects
There are multiple projects that are currently going full-steam ahead toward a resource based economy. Below you will find brief descriptions of these projects and links to view their websites.
One Community Global
One Community is currently in the process of developing blueprints for an entire self-sustainable community and cooperative business model. While they have made significant progress, they still need help in finishing these plans and are also actively looking for members that have a higher-than-average level of financial independence (as their communities will not provide income for members initially) to aid in the development and also join the “pioneer team” of members that will live in their first experimental “teacher/demonstration” community.

The New Earth Project
The New Earth Project (now New Earth Nation) is on track to open communities relatively soon. If you are interested in participating in the development of these communities or living in one of them once they are established please visit their website for more information.
