Co-Operation

The Evergreen Cooperatives—a network of worker owned cooperatives in Cleveland—strive to include people in the creation of jobs and access to wealth who would otherwise be excluded. It goes way beyond just putting people back into a job. After six months, all employees of Cleveland's evergreen cooperatives start contributing to their ownership fund, and the businesses are driven by stakeholders but by the worker/owners.

This is a great example of "There You Go!" Cooperatives have a long and rich history in the development of civilization. Empowerment of an individual in a cooperative doesn't neccesarily equate with success. Although if the Organization is an active Learning Community, one that always strives for the realization of the truth about themselves as individuals and the world in which the cooperatives operate, then such endeavors have a fighting chance to make a sustainable diffeence.
These kind of communities have incredible potential to change the course of life for this Planet, as all things are connected and the concentricicity of such actions can be the gift that never stops giving.
What generative thoughts come to mind when you see this video. I would really like to hear them.
