Welcome, newcomers to Consumerium, where fair trade, political consumerism, and moral purchasing trends, which all are essential to our philosophy, are coming together to create what we call moral purchasing power:

Consumerium is a not-for-profit project to focus that power.

Start exploring Consumerium by seeing the Brief introduction article and another way in to this could be the Consumerium:FAQ. There are also other essential projects, besides Consumerium itself we hope to introduce you to.

We are collaborating under the GFDL license, to design a healthy buying infrastructure. We are identifying hardware requirements for storage, transport and display of varying levels of product information to consumers and feedback to producers at the point of purchase.

We invite you, if you wish to participate by editing proposals and discussions below. As customary in many wikis any page can be edited by anyone, anytime, or restored to a previous state by anyone, which is the convention we assume will also apply in operation in this (combined) Research and Development Wiki; Please see What Consumerium RD Wiki is not, guidelines and rules for do's and dont's
