Vision
The STIR foundation was established in 2009 in response to the worldwide banking crisis that upset the trust in money as “a solution for everything”. Experimenting with the core natural human values the foundation set up its first sustainocratic cooperative: AiREAS.
The AiREAS cooperative was formalized in 2010 when the diversity of local partners had confirmed their interest to the initiating founders: Jean-Paul Close and Marco van Lochem. Their function is to maintain the social cohesion between the diversity of partners, develop the Dot-step process, and project manage the different steps that are defined.
Sustainocracy Explained
AiREAS represents a prioritized subset of the five essential human values listed in Sustainocracy: sustainable human evolution in a real time democracy (shared responsibility). With Sustainocracy we introduce an overarching and unified level of existential ethics into society developed to safeguard, protect and develop our sustainable existence as a natural human species within a finite natural environment.
