Election Platform--It’s a new democratic voting system, where every person can be an elector and candidate

What Company Says:
Every person in society has a particular place: one can drive a car, another can do scientific research, and a third can be a politician. Every person communicates with others, which is normal in a society and makes his impressions on people he has known during his lifetime. But when it comes to choosing the person to lead us, it's difficult to make a decision. First of all, because the list is limited, second, on the list there are some candidates that you have never heard about, not to mention you have no idea about his achievements, character, leadership aptitudes or intelligence. On the other side, you know quite well your own friends, but you can't vote for them unless they are on the candidates list.


On the Election Platform, an individual comes with a list of 1, 2 or 3 people that he wants to give his vote. He can vote for others, not for himself, that he believes are the best match for the election requirements. In this way each person distributes his authority value in equal proportion between voters. At the end they just need to compute the authority and sort it.


How It Works:

Election Platform represents the system which calculates the authority value of each person in the election. Election Platform can be used for team leader, professional communities, Local Administration, Parliament, even Presidential Elections.

It’s a new democratic voting system, where every person can be an elector and candidate.

What types of elections are there?

Closed – Recommended for small groups (10-20 people).
Open with Invitation – Recommended for medium sized groups (100 people).
Open with Password – Recommended for medium sized groups (100 people).
Open - Recommended for extremely large groups (millions of people).
Open for Trusted Individuals Recommended for large groups (hundreds of people).

What is the Difference between Classic Democracy and the Election Platform?

Under a Classic Democracy the winner is the person who gets the majority of votes.
In the election platform the winner is the person voted for by the members with the highest authority.

Alchemy Goods--Turning Useless Into Useful

Eli Reich was a mechanical engineer consultant for a Seattle wind energy company when his messenger bag was stolen. The environmentally conscious Reich, who rode his bike to work every day, decided that instead of buying a new one, he would simply fashion another bag out of used bicycle-tire inner tubes that were lying around his house.

Soon compliments on his sturdy black handmade messenger bag turned into requests. "That was the catalyst," says Reich, who obtained a business license, gave up his day job, and quickly launched Alchemy Goods in the basement of his apartment building. The company's motto: "Turning useless into useful."

For a slew of new entrepreneurs, garbage is not just a matter of personal opinion, it is, ahem, their business. In other words, they're creating new companies out of other people's junk.

While innovation has always been the entrepreneur's trademark, a growing interest in the green movement is propelling small business owners to create new products and services that also happen to be inventive recycling solutions for the country's vast waste heaps.


What Company Says:
Alchemy is the medieval science of turning lead into gold. More generally, it means magically turning something of lesser value into something of greater value. For them, the value isn’t economical so much as ecological. They look for materials that are normally discarded that might have value with a little bit of imagination and some hard work. Every Alchemy Goods bag purchased represents one less part of our world destroyed. That’s why all our products should have the highest possible recycled content, but also be superbly functional and aesthetically pleasing.

How It Works:

Alchemy Goods bags are, quite literally, recycled. They’re waterproof and the durable rubber exterior won’t easily stain. These are amazing, strong bags that you will be proud to own. To prove it, this page will take you through the process of how we make your messenger bag, from junk to funk.
To create the ultra-comfortable and totally durable Alchemy Goods strap, we hit local junkyards in search of cars that no longer run but still have usable parts.

Each bag is assembled by hand in our workshop, which is another reason that no two bags are exactly the same. We take our time examining them each step of the way to ensure that quality is never sacrificed out of haste.

She Made Millions With Old Tires

In 2001, outraged at seeing 26 trees marked for destruction in her Gardena (Calif.) neighborhood because their growth was damaging area sidewalks, Lindsay Smith, a Hollywood screenwriter, unwittingly became an activist and an entrepreneur, soon launching Rubbersidewalks. "These were healthy, mature trees that were being destroyed because the city couldn't afford to repair the broken sidewalks," she says. "We weren't even given the opportunity to weigh in on the choice."


Smith went into action. "It turns out this was a really big problem," she says. And not just in her neighborhood. According to Rubbersidewalks, 330,000 miles of U.S. sidewalks are damaged annually. Moreover, many municipalities simply cut down the trees because it has become too costly to constantly repair the sidewalks.

After doing some investigating, Smith got a grant from the state of California to do research on using rubber pavers as a substitute for concrete sidewalks. Smith spent two years in R&D, eventually coming up with a product made entirely of recycled rubber tires.
According to Smith, Rubbersidewalks have been installed in 60 cities across the country and Canada. She says she's gotten requests from metropolitan centers in Asia, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand as well.



What Company Is Offering:
Rubbersidewalks are more than a product, they are a new approach to sidewalk maintenance and tree preservation.Rubbersidewalks is a sole source product, conceived and developed by Rubbersidewalks, Inc. for the public right of way and landscaping applications, marketed and manufactured by Rubbersidewalks, Inc. Rubbersidewalks modular sidewalk system has been tested and proven effective for use in public right of way (sidewalks, walkways, tree wells), and proven beneficial to the health and maintenance of urban trees. Rubbersidewalks, Inc. is a small, and woman-owned, California business.


How It Works:

Rubbersidewalks are high-density paving tiles made with recycled California tire crumbed rubber combined with polyurethane binder and colorant, then molded with heat under compression. This produces a strong and durable part that meets all requirements of sidewalk-worthiness, including stable grade, non-vibration in compliance with ADA requirements, and high coefficient of friction for non-skid both dry and wet. Rubbersidewalks are available in various sizes and colors, and are reversible. Known life per face is minimum eight years. Actual life per face is not known but is expected to exceed 12 years.
Rubbersidewalks can be lifted for periodic tree root trimming and replaced at a fraction of the cost of concrete repairs and replacement.Rubbersidewalks allows long-term sidewalk/tree root maintenance. Rubbersidewalks introduces the concept of modularity. Tripping on uplifted concrete can cause injury and lawsuits.
