The Industrial Age economic model creates money out of thin air and requires the living people and the Earth pay the bill in labor and natures resources.

Information Age tools can relieve pressure on people and the environment. Achieving this goal will require a common global community where even the poor can create digital wealth using a free peer to peer Information Age economic system where value is created from human elements of creativity (music, words, art) rather than natural resources.  A environmental system where one can shoot an animal video instead of an animal, and provide wealth for their family earned by digital sales to a global audience. Prosperity Program in conjunction with Peace Portal Humanitarian Trust, and the FDU can meet this bold goal.
