This digital community, launched in 2005 by Michel Bauwens, is dedicated to advancing the social potential of peer-to-peer technologies. As a decentralized and self-organized non-profit organization, it analyzes, documents and promotes peer-to-peer strategies that seem to be well-suited to facing the challenges and problems of our times in ways that display great future promise. The focus is on three key traits: sustainability, openness and solidarity. Since its inception, the community of the P2P Foundation has input over 30,000 entries documenting the history and development of the peer-to-peer movement. One of the very first articles about the crypto-currency Bitcoin was published on the P2P Foundation’s website. Since its launch in 2006, the P2P Foundation Wiki has been accessed more than 27 million times and contains the world’s largest collection of knowledge about P2P.

17th March 2014, Withersfield Station. Cattle on the station after muster. Greenpeace traced the path of export coal in Queensland from the Adani Carmichael proposed coal mine site, along the proposed rail corridors, to Abbot Point Coal Terminal. Along the way interviews and testimonials were gathered from people in the region about the impacts the potential expansion the the Galilee basin will have on their lives and livelihoods. The Carmichael mine could be one of the biggest coal mines in the world should it go ahead and Abbot pt coal terminal expansion would see it become one of the biggest coal ports in the world, at a time when the world needs to move from fossil fuels and stave off irreversible climate change.
