Introducing "The Spark"

By News Desk

Links Introducing "The Spark" April 9, 2014 ( Tony Cartalucci – LocalOrg ) – " The Spark "( Facebook / Vimeo ) is an interesting and ongoing grassroots project that fits in well with an older article featured on LocalOrg titled, " Decentralizing Big-Retail ." The article illustrated the waste, disparity, and exploitation promoted by the current "big-retail" monopolies and the consumerist paradigm modern society is dependent on, and suggests as an alternative the leveraging of technology to replace entirely this paradigm with local solutions. It featured a combination of projects from urban farming to technological havens called "makerspaces" or "hackerspaces" working in tandem to turn a city block into a sustainable, self-sufficient economic unit driven by open source collaboration, technology, and local entrepreneurship.
