The project was actually in Netherlands. But it was very expensive to stay and fly there. Luckily we have a friend Matthias who lives in Belgium and it turned out that he is quite close to the Netherlands border. Matthias also our Patreon and super kind and generous guy, so we stayed at his place. Sometimes that's the only option to film and volunteer is to stay at friends and save as much as we can. Because otherwise it won't be possible to participate in a projects so frequently. Kind of similar to the life of underground musician :)

Anyway, we rented a tiny car in Charleroi airport, because there was no other way to get to the different locations in Netherlands + during the night.
It was ok, but super tiny :)

And during day we were at Matthias and Belgium and in the evenings went to Netherlands.

Traditional Belgium fries :) That's the way they do it, you order large portion, they put a lot of fries, really a lot of them in the tiny box. It was o much fries, we took them with us, and still couldn't finish them in 2 days :)

Mara really wanted to see tulips and we were driving around Zeeland (an area in Netherlands) to search for them, and we found them

Anyway the project was about Glass eels, and it's very complex situation and topic. We were fishing them with a net, then inject color tags on them and later release them back. In short their population had declined in Northern see for 99% !!!!!! In the last 40 or so years.

So we were on a mission to save them. It was night work, dirty, cold and slippery, but it was worth it.

So now I will start making the video, and meanwhile we have another projects lined up.

Maybe you can start it first per tribe, then expand globally.

Goal: humans should not have to trade in order to survive in this society. Since this creates a tsunami of problems for people and the rest of this planet. (source)

Plan:

Basic needs trade-free.

Make the most basic needs services trade-free. Healthcare, transportation, shelter, basic food, access to Internet (information and communication). You can do that through taxes, through volunteers, through all sort of means. Many tribes already provide some of these as trade-free, like in Europe a lot of the healthcare systems are like that. Not difficult!

Basic Income.

Since this world still relies on trades (money), and people may have different sort of needs and definitely wants, give everyone a basic income (say 1.000 dollars a month) with no strings attached. You can do it again through taxes, via the removal of so many institutions and resources dedicated to track people and check if they are eligible for benefits, and all of the paperwork nonsense that has been created around this. No more "benefits", no more "pensions". Forget about labeling people as employed or unemployed in regards to who should be helped.

That is it!

Now you will have a bunch of humans who KNOW they are taken care of. They KNOW that if they get sick they should only worry about that health problem and not a financial problem. They KNOW that they wont starve or end up on the street. They know they are SAFE.

On top of this, with the money you give them monthly, they can have some power and focus on doing some useful things in this society. At least some will, if not many.

This can grow up over time into a saner society of humans who can refuse to work for bullshit companies, or do any bullshit jobs. A world in which humans have the time to decide what to focus on, who to "vote" for, stay informed and properly inform others.

A world where scientists or journalists should not worry about their livelihood. So they can do their "jobs" properly.

We deserve and need this world. Else there is no intelligent species on this planet.
