Traidmark represents a new business structure that was created as a way
for profits to be used to fund innovation and progress for the benefit
of humanity. This is done by donating Net profit to innovative

clearly for consumer clarity.

I like. This is the kind of thing that the Sunrise crew would get all over and probably help to promote/drive it, especially if you were to kick it off with the concept of something like a "Good Neighbour Day" where people introduce themselves to their neighbours and offer to given an hour or two of their time to people in their neighbourhood doing small things like mending fences, going halves in a trailer together to pool a run to the rubbish tip, taking a bunch of empty bottles to a recycling depot (especially in SA, where there's actually a financial incentive for doing this), and so on. Tell me how I can help develop this idea further.

Great, love it.
This is an idea I would to be involved with:-)
I too can see myself using such a tool

this project is close to my heart and similar to my desire to rejuvenate active engagement with State political issues. It would be good to be able to share ideas and common interests via internet linkages across space/time/groups, thus slightly tweaking the old adage "link globally, act locally"

I like this one. I can imagine using it already.

Love this.

In addition to "What is the social need or challenge your idea could address?"...

This also helps organise & fully utilise untapped resources (skills, interests, gifts, time, money etc) available in communities at large, and channel them toward causes, problem-solving & tangible solutions. Many good ideas and intentions remain just that; not acted upon because of the challenges or a lack of ease in harnessing necessary resources. This makes it easier to match resources up with ideas & problem-solving efforts.

It can give people a greater sense of meaning to know that they are contributing in a real way to something that makes a difference.

After all, as Margaret Mead famously said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." I see this idea facilitating little "action-groups" that come together to do something about the things they care about.
