new trade

Balance, sustainability are the foundations of this public exchange market. No money in between, just a shake of hands. Change the world in an alternative way! But it is much more than this, it means humanizing trade, solidarity, sharing resources, understanding.
It is the first time this kind of events is held in Ávila, perhaps crisis is making us see the world in a different way.
I only had a look in the morning and it was very early for the market to be evaluated. I think the idea is good, although the organization was a bit chaotic. Perhaps the second edition will be better.

I am not very hopeful now, especially judging by the things I see around. If people would learn from this crisis, it would turn into a good thing. If they could find alternatives, solidarity, the crisis would be a source of progress. But right now, I doubt they can do that, at least here. I'm sorry I'm pessimistic. I hope you are right.

I'm not very optimistic either. I was at the beginning of all this. But now I keep on watching the same old economical structures which have taken the world into a ruin.
Nevertheless, from time to time, these green twigs as an exchange market appears and in a certain way my hope is renewed.
Let's hope!
