There is an economic and behavioural change going on in these precarious times.
Find the entire action plan for the build of new regional industries
and your own contribution to participate.
Please find here all the particular means and actions to realize the 10 projects now, as our immediate contribution to find the way out of the current crisis. And to get ready for a new economic and cultural age as the affirmative civil society that we want to be. In such common approach, you may find your immediate contribution.
Personal thought of Martin Klöti: The calculation is simple: If Switzerland alone spents 42 billion Swiss Francs of economic emergency aid next week, how much economic emergency aid is assumed globally?! A small three-sentence calculation about the gross domestic product of Switzerland and in the world before Corona helps to understand: The current economic and social system will not often be able to compensate for emergency aid of this size and speed. So I suggest we better deal sooner than later with a fundamentally new economy. As long as we have them available, we better transfer the old, freed-up resources into new, resilient, i.e. stress resistent economic and social systems in order to be able to ensure our basic services in the areas of 1) living, 2) eating, 3) dressing, 4) staying physically healthy and 5) staying mentally healthy.
The Glärnisch Textil cooperative can make an immediate, concrete contribution with YOUR valuable support and active participation. In the list below, we start from our (the cooperative's) current status, our current resources and our current pending needs and we list the necessary steps and enhancements in order to establish a sustainable, economic value creation process and a broad, efficient, reformed economic environment for textiles, building materials and technical applications. Please understand the price indications in the individual steps relatively - everything is changing very quickly now.
