The Co-Operative of Everything idea was created by a bunch of locals in Lakes Entrance, Victoria, sitting around a fire, playing drums and rattles.
A young lady was telling her story, of how her small community in the hills, had formed a co-operative to share food and goods. From that conversation, we sat around our dining table and discussed how we could expand that idea into co-opping everything.
Nobody owns the Co-Op of Everything, and everybody owns it.
It is what we all make of it.
This website, is purely a tool, that has the potential to allow your community to connect, co-operate and support each other in the years ahead.
We know our world, and our beloved country has gone pear-shaped. Our communities are not our own. Our Governments are not our own. In fact, we find ourselves powerless to control any aspects of our lives.
This is where our local Community regains it’s power. We are the labour, we are the creators, we are the dreamers and we are the instigators of where our Country is going.
Let’s take this opportunity to take responsibility for the Country we hand over to our children and their children. Taking responsibility, means being responsible.
