Description
The Consumerium project, presently visible only as a Development Wiki, is "where fair trade, political consumerism, and moral purchasing trends, all essential to our philosophy, are being pieced together into what we call moral purchasing power." all quotes from its Main Page. In other words, to help consumers find and express their moral choices as buying choices.
"Consumerium itself is a not-for-profit project to enable display of product information to consumers and feedback to the producers to enhance the consumer experience and to keep this planet as hospitable as possible." The eventual goal of the project is to provide simple buying information such as buy/don't or price premium data at point of purchase, probably via cell phones.
A couple of ways to start exploring Consumerium are the Brief introduction and Consudev:FAQ articles. There are also other essential projects, such as Simple English Wikipedia (.org) (http://simple.wikipedia.org) and Sourcewatch.org (http://www.sourcewatch.org) and many others that we hope to introduce you to.
We are collaborating under the GFDL license, to design a healthy buying infrastructure. We are identifying hardware requirements for storage, transport and display of varying levels of product information to consumers and feedback to producers at the point of purchase to enhance the consumer experience, advance product development and to keep this planet as hospitable as possible.
