About alTRU.Eco

Bottom-up altruistic economy using open-source technology with data privacy.

💡 The Idea

The eBay of altruism. A Trusted F/LOSS marketplace for Sharing Economy, where individuals, communities, and organizations can share their resources, services, and needs in a trusted way for money, in exchange for other goods and services, or like a giveaway, for free.

The name

Composition of "Altruism" and "Ecological Economy" using the emphasis on the term "TRUE" at the middle.

The Work

The Problem

The growth in human consumption, the waste of resources, and the accelerating extinction of species make clear the impossibility of continuous growth. Sometimes we have to make hard decisions and think about what is enough.

The Solution

The rules are simple: Taking what we need and sharing what we don’t whilst recognizing that there are limits to how much we can give and how much we can take.

The Gain

There are many ways that we benefit from giving a fair share of our abundance to others in our community.

alTRUEco Toolkit

alTRUE is a toolkit to solve Scarcity in Local Communities.Running an alTRUE instance, you can create peer-to-peer marketplaces for the sale, exchange, or gift of goods and services to support Sharing Economy.

We are provided with times of abundance, which enables us to share with others. -- eapo

MVP

Easy-to-use F/Loss Resource management toolkit with a trusted marketplace to sell, exchange or give away goods and services in the name of altruism 💝

alTRUE Ecological Economy

Ecological Economy it's the independent network of individuals, communities, and organizations applying the practice of Ecological Economics. A sustainable model inspired by the observation and research of small local communities in diverse locations and circumstances. During the development we are focusing on the Permaculture ethics and principles, following the Sustainable Development Agenda and paying exceptional attention on Data privacy and Transparency.
