Future dialogue "Switzerland 2291"
Christian Häuselmann's latest ingenious act is his series called "Switzerland 2291". Because the 1000th anniversary of Switzerland takes place in exactly 272 years. 1291 to 2291. How will we live? What drives us? What progress do we want? What do we not want? 2291 refreshes the intergenerational dialogue with a trilogy: the Switzerland 2291 book, the event series Switzerland 2291 on tour, and the Switzerland 2291 short film competition.

Alfred Ruhdorfer keeps an entrepreneurial network running in Austria that stands for healthy sleeping, living and consistently regional, sustainable and conscious building. The construction industry, consultants, planners, producers, regional trades and craftspeople already live consistently sustainability and implement it in their actions, in their appearances, in their daily work and projects.

MONNETA
Founder Margrit Kennedy (died 2013) has been working for sustainable money systems for almost three decades and helped to develop practical alternatives, such as the regional currency "Chiemgau". Jens Martignoni, Christoph Pfluger and numerous thinkers in Switzerland are committed to continuing her and their work and are well connected with internationally recognized currency experts such as Bernard Lietaer. They work, write, speak, network and thrive towards the new, just monetary system, which makes everyone to benefit in equal ways and can help to preserve the planet. 

On a flight back from China in 2006, I began to write down my concerns about the world's economic, social and cultural upheavals in the book "2026 - Looking Back After the Oil Shock". My thoughts included the need to return to renewable raw materials and to recover regional industries and jobs that had been lost due to the departure of the production industry in Europe and throughout the West. These rather pragmatic claims were supplemented by the strong desire to unconditionally consider ethical principles, from which great values ​​result such as identity, security, justice, confidence, satisfaction, health and happiness.

In "2026" there is the visionary description of how the combination of tradition and innovation helps the textile industry to find its way back to Glarus. The installation of the heavy machinery for the straw and fibre processing and with the invitation of the entire Glarner valley community to found the Glärnisch Textil cooperative on November 10, 2017, the cooperative has been registered in the commercial register of the canton of Glarus on December 15, 2017.

I would like to thank the members and partners, the employees and the management of the cooperative for their active contributions. We thank the people of the Glarus region for their warm welcome and ongoing attention. We do everything we can to meet the vision and the expectations of effective production and decent market services. The wave of the sympathy that we are allowed to enjoy provides the particular strength to us and the entire cooperative. Thank you very much for that!
