A HUMAN DRIVEN, COMMUNITY DRIVEN, PURPOSE DRIVEN SOLUTION
By no means is this an answer to society’s ills. There is so much to do in the coming few years if we want to avert the sure to come
catastrophies.
The first step, however is to recognize that humans have a value over and above the dollars they hold in their hands or the production
they can produce for those that worship at the altar of the dollar.
HOW WILL A NON-PROFIT ENTREPRENUERIAL BUSINESS MEASURE SUCCESS?
Capitalism measures success by how much money a person or shareholder can make. The goal of Humanity
Reimagined is for an entrepreneur to create a business and make enough money to support themselves with a
liveable wage (defined here later on). All other profits are distributed to various community need organizations.
The reward systems has to change in order to define success.
1. Success means you have created a business that contributes something to society
2. Success means you are making a living, have health insurance, can drive a car, take a vacation, put food on the table and so on
3. Success means you are giving back to the community
WELCOME
With an understanding that mankind is on a collision course with extinction,
Humanity Reimagined offers a collaborative environment in order to bring
together a variety of disciplines with the purpose of designing a new philosophy
for existence.
In addition, we want to set out to prove that another way is possible. For those that
strive to be the 1% - stop reading here! However, if you are one of the many that
want nothing more than to provide yourself and loved ones with a liveable wage
(defined later in an article), while creating a business and providing for your
community, Humanity Reimagined is for you!
Our goal is to create a portfolio of small businesses that are all non-profit. We start
by setting the example with the following businesses:
Crave!: A Vermont personal chef and catering business
Events Vermont: An event planning business

STORY
Squandering Opportunity
At the time we came out of the caves, mankind used greed as a means for survival.
With limited resources, it stood to reason that greed meant survival. Sharing and
generosity led to demise and so we developed the instinct to greed. However, as
we evolved, the same instincts developed for survival in the cave days can now
lead to our downfall. Not all of the instincts developed for survival remain
beneficial as the world changes. Adaptability is the backbone of evolution - when
something no longer works, an animal adapts to the ever changing world in order
to continue its own survival. Mankind, even given its superior ability to reason
over other animals has refused to change and adapt - we are still using the same
instincts despite massive evidence that such refusal will lead to our ultimate
extinction.

FACTS
Entering the Exponential Age
While there are many negatives to
exponential growth, so are there positives.
If we do not work together to exploit the
positives, the negatives will overtake our
entire civilization.
Altruism, Cooperation & Community
are the new evolutionary tools.
The same greed instinct that aided
survival so many years ago can well be our
downfall today. Only by cooperating and
letting go of the small tribe mentality can we
build the bridge to the next dawn of
humanity.
We’re in a race against a coming mass
extinction.
There have been 5 mass extinctions in the
earth’s history. It is generally believed that
climate change (or the rapid change in CO2
levels) was the cause of these extinctions.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”

I KNOW - EXCITING! BUT STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
WE INTERRUPT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS WEBSITE…
Paul & I posted on Facebook that we were looking for a donated kitchen in order to cook meals for those that are food
insecure. We have a kitchen! Melanie of The Gourmet Deli has donated a kitchen. We can now move on to the next steps -
donations for food, gas, packaging, etc so we can make this happen in our community. Please CLICK HERE for full details.
Thank you SO much - lets make sure we take care of our own!
Thank you, Melanie from the Gourmet Deli!!
We now have a kitchen! The next steps are to buy food
& packaging. We need help for the following:
- food
- packaging
- gas for cooking
- help for keeping the kitchen going with electricity, etc
To start, we will have food available for pickup one day
a week - Friday
The pickup will include enough food that should provide
3-4 meals between the entrees and the leftovers.
Items that will more than likely be included will be:
- quart of soup (usually a meal type soup)
- salads with a protein
- entrees
- vegetables
LOGISTICS:
1. We will provide a way for you to request to be put on the
list for food. We don’t want this to turn into a mess where more
folks come than we have food. We want to make sure that
everyone that needs food will be able to get it.
2. There will be a pickup window on Friday at the Gourmet Deli.
We will come out and put the food in your trunk
3. You must be wearing a mask
4. Please, if you are not food insecure, don’t request pickups!
However, if you know someone that can’t come themselves,
please offer to pick up for them as we are just 2 so far and can’t
deliver.
5. I will post receipts from Restaurant Depot, Shaws and any
other places we buy food. We will also be getting from Timmy
at Reinhart and Black River.
6. Paul is reaching out to a variety of companies and people
that might be able to help with donations.
Any input or advice from the local foodbank and Vermont
Foodbank is more than welcome.
We are excited to make this happen!
Peace & health to you all
Meesha & Paul
Together, let’s feed the Northshire!
