Everybody is welcome to participate in [[The RBE10K Project]].

These agreements are a work in progress, and will likely evolve and refine over time. Any requests for adding, removing or altering any of the proposed agreements can be made by anyone directly using the Discussion tab at the header of the page.

It is paramount that participants of the project have a good understanding of a [[Resource-Based Economic Model]] (RBEM). Such information can be found in this Wiki, in the ''Zeitgeist Moving Forward'' and ''Zeitgeist: Addendum'' films at http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com, the ''Paradise or Oblivion'' film and other resources on http://www.thevenusproject.com, and in [[The Zeitgeist Movement]]'s website http://www.thezeitgeistmovement.com. For those who find objections to the RBE system it may be more adequate participating on other projects like Transition Towns, or even a political party or a church.
