Anything means anything
Donations
Cash; sure cash is king, but there are so many other things that would be equally as helpful. This project thrives on setting up systems and networks to allow people easier assess to donating and utilizing those donations. Focused first on getting member’s mindful the our understanding of underutilized resources is a vital part of The Zero Waste initiative. This first step is as much an important concept as getting systems set up to process the most valuable possessions which will follow close behind as more members have access to this online community.
Zero Waste Initiative looks at waste as ….underutilized resources…..
* Time: time is arguably many people’s most valuable and cherished resource because life is often too short. We are proposing that donating 2% of our underutilized time to a good cause might be reasonable and aim to create a system to systematically execute this filling possible voids in our lives without it being a burden.
* Possessions: possessions and Material goods often accumulate and can become a burden. Whatever it is XY or Z, letting others use it is not as easy and in fact can consume a lot of the valuable time and can be sometimes dangerous.
* Data: Data is now the most valuable resource in the world, beating out oil, according to The Economist. Data Is the World’s Most Valuable Resource because information is so many things but it drives success…..it is power. Information is or will be possibly more critical than money
* networking: networking is traditionally considered to be making introductions and sharing your Contacts. This is truly valuable, but systematically extending the understanding of this to these underutilized resources can be a huge step towards sustainability.
* Eyes and Ears: systematically extending the understanding of this leads to everyone being a part of the classic neighborhood watch but embracing this to include the underprivileged, the underutilized resources.changing the paradigm of thinking towards Zero Waste and not judging just doing! Transparency can be a challenge but can also Opening our minds and focusing our eyes and ears towards nothing being waste, maybe we can get those giant Corporations, those governments to assist us to figure out what to do with the most volatile wastes that have become common practices and too large to get under control.
* Wish list requests: engaging in The Ultimate Collaboration embracing the small systematic steps, WE together can be more mindful that supporting small businesses and our communities means more than just donating cash. Traditional donations and investments will always be vital, but by adding the smaller donations of engaging in the process, fulfilling wish list requests, are an equally vital part of creating a more sustainable world.
* Points options: with engaging in this Ultamite Collaboration we want to develop an incentive program that rewards the donation of time, money, possessions, Information, etc. This incentive program of earning points for the various contributions which earns points in turn can be donated to the Big Pot that supports the overall project or a more specific aspect of the project.
* Forever Company: the company has been referred to as an online nation which has no limits to its ability to help the global community be more sustainable. With the assistance of its members who choose to engage in these actions, polling our resources and building our strengths, together we can accomplish great things.

Screen shots are the best one button functionality that often needs no explanation.

The meaning behind People “who get it” is pretty basic; it means a person is paying attention. This phrase is a key component of our community because one it is all here, 100% transparent, forward thinking, and hopefully hyper user friendly which is a result in getting it when it comes to efficiencies, quality, and being optimistic and open minded.

This phrase might also be the bases for a couple of the one button responses such as WTF, LOL etc, etc, etc, etc, . Not all are abbreviated such as “No, but thanks for asking” with this there can be “you get it” for a confirmation that you spot on. Or “you don’t get it” for people who are not over the line, being mean, being pessimistic, being ………
