The Denver Handmade Homemade Market (or 'HaHo') is a really great place to get local goods and unique crafts. They are promoting an alternative local currency called Denver Dough. The next HaHo Market is September 29th from Noon to 10pm at the Denver Sustainability Park at 25th ST and Arapahoe. This is a great opportunity to promote local economics. Remember, one of the Ten Key Values is:
Community Based EconomicsRedesign our work structures to encourage employee ownership and workplace democracy. Develop new economic activities and institutions that will allow us to use our new technologies in ways that are humane, freeing, ecological and accountable, and responsive to communities. Establish some form of basic economic security, open to all. Move beyond the narrow "job ethic" to new definitions of "work," jobs" and "income" that reflect the changing economy. Restructure our patterns of income distribution to reflect the wealth created by those outside the formal monetary economy: those who take responsibility for parenting, housekeeping, home gardens, community volunteer work, etc. Restrict the size and concentrated power of corporations without discouraging superior efficiency or technological innovation.
