	From the consumption perspective Consumerium is about enabling a shift from affective buying behaviour based on illusions to affective buying behaviour based on [[features\|information]] on ~~the~~ social and environmental impacts of the production and naturally the perceived quality of the product.		''This may eventually go at [[Main Page Consumer]]''

			From the consumption perspective Consumerium is about enabling a shift from [[affective buying behaviour]] based on illusions to affective buying behaviour based on [[features\|information]] on all social and environmental impacts of the production (often called the "[[comprehensive outcome]]") and naturally the perceived quality of the product (often called the "[[value]]"). This shift begins with understanding the real possibilities of a world where we know what we buy into when we buy, right at the [[retail shelf]] or [[checkout counter]].

			This process began long ago with [[mandatory label]]s, but these are not fine grained or rich enough for everyone's [[individual buying criteria]]. They do not even manage to satisfy all [[institutional buying criteria\|institutional]] or [[faction]]al criteria shared by many people. They are just not good enough. We seek to create a [[Consumerium buying signal]] that will convey everything that will really influence the decision, to the [[point of purchase]].

	==Summaries==		==Summaries==

	*[[Consumerium User Stories]]		*[[Consumerium User Stories]] are typical cases of things going right or wrong with the [[Consumerium Services]]; Over time we hope the [[best cases]] are realized and the [[worst cases]] are avoided. We gather these more extreme stories for purposes of figuring out HOW to pursue the best, and avoid worst.
	*[[Consumerium:Activist summary]]		*[[Consumerium:Activist summary]] outlines our [[Campaign]]s and [[advertising]]
	*[[Consumerium:Consumer summary]]		*[[Consumerium:Consumer summary]] explains how the [[Consumerium buying signal]] is actually seen and used
	*[[Consumerium:Executive summary]]		*[[Consumerium:Executive summary]] explains why this project is necessary and how it fits into other [[essential projects]]
	*[[Consumerium:Investor summary]]		*[[Consumerium:Investor summary]] explains how [[self-funding]] and an eventual [[healthy buying infrastructure]] makes it worthwhile to help Consumerium along with [[financial capital]], especially if you sell a [[green light]] product:
	*[[Consumerium:Producer summary]]		*[[Consumerium:Producer summary]] is for those who sell [[green light]] products, to whom, [[Consumerium buying signal]] is actually [[advertising]]
	*[[Consumerium:Retailer summary]]		*[[Consumerium:Retailer summary]] explains how [[friendly retail]] works, and how offering [[Consumerium Service access]] at the [[retail shelf]] and [[checkout counter]] can expand your [[social capital]] and your bottom line.

==Brief Introduction to The Concept of Consumerium==

From the consumption perspective Consumerium is about enabling a shift from affective buying behaviour based on illusions to affective buying behaviour based on [[features|information]] on the social and environmental impacts of the production and naturally the perceived quality of the product.

We hope to achieve this by building two, consumer accessible, complementary facilities:
*[[Content Wiki|The Content Wiki]] where we hope people will build an abundance of '''neutral information''' about products and their production processes and all involved factors. The integrity of this information will be negotiated and upheld by peer review in a similar manner as in [[Wikipedia]], The Free Encyclopedia and furthermore by maintaining a backend data storage called The Consumerium Vault which mostly validates the existance or non-existance of things the articles in The Content Wiki claim to refer to. The goal of the Content Wiki is to be '''objective'''.

*[[The Consumerium Exchange]] or [[Opinion Wiki|The Opinion Wiki]] - Where strictly formed datastructures are used to record, archive and enable the aggregation of information on the popularity of different '''opinions''', mostly in the form of competing [[campaign]]s on issues related to production and consumption. The Consumerium Exchange is very rigid internally, but the view it provides to consumers and producers alike is very fluid and based on ones '''subjective preferences'''.

Both of these facilities will be accessible through the Internet, but we hope to work together with the retailers of the world, who seek an competitive advantage by providing a better shopping experience for their clients, to bring access to the '''shelf front''' via [[short-range wireless]] connections, optimally [[Bluetooth]], for zero cost to the consumer.
