• A Not-For-Profit Project for the Greater Good

      Causing Good Things by Empowering and Enabling Purpose

    • A Stakeholder Society

      We believe the path to a better world is by creating a society where our values, principles and actions are aligned with the laws of nature found in ecosystems.

      Our human ecosystem called society, is made up of various stakeholder participants, each playing a crucial role in its smooth operation(whether that Society be our neighbourhood, state, country or the ONE world we share.)

       

      These Stakeholders are:

      •  Government
      •  People
      •  Business
      •  Causes (NGOs, Social Enterprises and Projects for Good)
      •  Community  (the clubs and associations where we foster fellowship)
      •  Institutions (Schools, Hospitals etc.)
      •  Faiths ( Religious and Non institutional faiths/beliefs )
      Over the coming months we will be launching projects with the common theme of empowering and enabling purpose within these stakeholder groups. There will be no cost to participate and benefit, thanks to the support of volunteers and patrons.
       
      Despite some of the doom and gloom about the climate crisis and other issues, believe that humanity is on the brink of a very exciting new age. We believe that humanity has the opportunity in 2019 to create a vision for a better world as new technological evolutions take hold such as the new Internets of Things, Energy and Mobility.
       
      This new world will be one where new efficiencies of the economy such as renewable energy and integrated transport, logistics and food production systems create prosperity. Part of the driver for this change will be addressing concerns about the climate crisis that speed up the transition from the fossil fuel era and extractive capitalism, to conscious capitalism.
       
      Some are referring to this as the Fourth Phase of the Industrial Revolution. We believe it's a revolution based on realignment with nature's laws of ecosystems and that it will become to be called "The Ecosystems Revolution' or Regeneration Revolution.
       
      At Cause Good Things, we hope to play a role in helping society's stakeholders align to seeing a clear path to this future. We call it 2020 Vision and hope that next year a more united global community will pull together to make the changes to achieve this vision. In May 2019 a movie 2040 launched. It has a similar vision and plan and gives a glimpse of what we believe lies ahead. A world of hope, optimism and regeneration.

       

      As a citizen driven project, we ask that you join us to help shape a Better World for the near future and for future generations.

    • 1. Politics: A Better System

      Vote4Better.org

      We empower Thinking Citizens to overcome apathy and harness technologies to 'Change the Game'.....so that rather than just vote, we can support our Governments to more effectively use the Budgets (our tax money) to formulate better long term policies and deliver more effectively on the management and delivery of those policies.

       
      We achieve this by creating networks of Citizen Assemblies comprising Experts, Scientific Researchers and Grassroots passionate people to design better and more innovative solutions to the issues our society faces.
       
      Our Initial two projects are being done through FuseChange.org (a 501c Registered Charity based in Portland Oregon)
       
      1. Tackling the Climate Emergency. - The Climate Solutions Alliance. Using the Atlassian "Confluence' collaboration platform we will create a network of 'design thinking communities' to work on over 250 galvanising global support for the Top 100 Innovative solutions identified by Drawdown.org and a further 150 solutions we have identified
      2. Tackling Homelessness - The Homelessness Alliance
       
      Drawdown have already adopted the 'Citizen Assembly' approach and over the past 4 years have been researching and using scientific rigour, passion and innovation to explore whether Reversing Global Warming is possible.
       
      The GOOD news is they found it is Reversible... they have also identified the most promising solutions (which incidentally are rather surprising and validate our theory that Think Tanking can deliver more effective outcomes than the current Political system.
       
      The third project which is run by CauseGoodThings is the 2020 Vision Project
       
      We believe another problem of the current political system is that it is based on Extractive Capitalism (Neoliberalism) and divisive democracy and that it's grounded in the past. Our 2020 Vision Project is about inspiring citizens to develop a clear vision (20/20 Vision) in the year 2020 for a world that they want created for the year 2040.
       
      By unleashing human creativity and workshoping good ideas in Citizen Assemblies we hope to enables purpose and catalyse the creation of better futures for Communities and Economies around the world.

    • 2. People: Empowering You to discover your answer to the meaning of life

      42Experiment.org :: LearnToEarnToGive.com

      If you ask Google what the answer is to the meaning of life....

      It will tell you it's 42

       

      At Cause Good Things we believe that's not the answer but rather the path to the answer.

      3 Steps, 6 Pillars and 42 Lessons

       

      The actual answer is simply 'True Happiness'

       

      'True Happiness' is partly joy and fun and love, but it's also very much about us discovering who we are and how we fit into this complex, fast changing world. By discovering our purpose, we have a compass to help steer us through life.

       

      It's also learning to centre ourselves and not let WORRY (wasted energy on future fear) or Regrets (wasted energy unless learnings are made) or 'Playing the Victim' sabotage what we can make out of our time on the planet. We help you gain new perspectives so that each morning you wake up HAPPY and eager to tackle this abundant thing called life.

       

      We have designed a scientific experiment to validate our Theory that we have unlocked the 42 Learnings that if applied will deliver improved Happiness.

       

      It's called the '42 Experiment'

       

      It's a free online course of videos and workbooks to help you discover your place in the world,....and the first round of the experiment will be launching soon.

       

      At present we anticipate enough support to launch this as a Six Week Challenge on July 1st, where each day will be a lesson with a video, workbook and support coaching via forums. You will then be able to self assess when you complete that lesson and work towards your Certificate Of Attainment in the principles of happiness.

       

      The scientific part is analysing the data to see how many people who start the course stay engaged and how many who complete, find a self assessed increase in their Happiness score.

       

      It's based on a 3 Step Virtuously Spiralling Cycle of Happiness and Prosperity - LEARN to EARN to GIVE

      YOUR TRUE HAPPINESS

      LEARN

      The Two 'Learn Pillars'

    • 4. Causes: Empowering Causes with the support they need - awareness,

      CauseGoodThings.org

      A platform to enable Not-For-Profits and Causes to attract the awareness, resources and skills they need to best achieve their mission.

       

      We do this THREE ways:

      1.  Providing a range of no-cost tools, processes and systems 
      2.  Empowering Start up projects and Social Innovations with a Blueprint Step-by-Step process from Idea to measured Impact.
      3.  Connecting Projects with potential Supporters either locally or from around the world

       

      It will also be a Zoom In: Zoom Out Network with a similar structure to the Cagora Community Network with:

      •  Locations:  Global >Australia > Melbourne > Stonnington 
      •  Causes: Humanitarian relief > Disaster Relief > Disaster Food Relief where Projects can be posted with Summary Info and Needs so that Volunteers and Financial Supporters can find projects to engage with that align with their interests.

       

      It also enables much more effective analysis of projects being conducted across the globe so that learnings can be gained. For example there are countless initiatives tackling Water Sanitation in Developed countries. But how easy is it to see what has been done in the past, what's being done now and where these projects are and what technologies are being used with what success.

    • 5. Community: Browse the world's network of Local and Special Interest Marketplaces

      Cagora.org

      This is where Cause Good Things had its origins. Back in 2003 we created a zoom in:zoom out network of:

      •  10,000 Local communities around the world Australia > Melbourne > Stonnington 
      •  10,000 Communities of Interest:  Sports & Recreation > Boats > Kayaking

      It's called Cagora because its a Community Marketplace much like the Ancient Greek Agora which was a Marketplace

       

      At Cagora you could connect with people, advice, articles, photos, video that was relevant to you.

       

      There was a 'community marketplace' for each Intersection (eg Australia Kayaking had more content than Melbourne Kayaking which had less than Melbourne Boats

       

      Google owns SEARCH, but still no-one owns 'BROWSE on the Internet to make it easy to find the things that interest you locally or for your favourite hobbies.

       

      Similar to Google and Facebook it will operate as a free to use network and will have advertising. The difference being the profits from the ad revenue generated is distributed to Charities and Community Groups rather than Shareholders.

       

      NOTE to Past Cagora Supporters. Please get in touch to find details of a plan to repay you for your loyal support as the Cagora transitions to a Not-For-Profit Model.

    • 6. Institutions: Education and Healthcare

      No Project Names Yet

      If Cause Good Things lives up to its potential and becomes a trusted intermediary, it will be well placed to create value for Education and Healthcare (both public and private) in two main ways:

      1.  Learning systems
      2.  Privacy Secured records keeping. 
      There are particularly interesting developments and opportunities to create a globally trusted platform based on Blockchain technology to hold personal information records securely. This opens up the opportunity for the anonymous sharing of data so that data can be analysed. For example data on cancer patient treatments

    • 7. Faiths: Belief Systems

      no working project

      Cause Good Things has the potential to act as a bridge of tolerance and understanding between faiths.

       

      Our 'Ecolutionism' philosophy has been created as a model to be congruent with all existing belief systems that match our Values systems which are universal to almost all Religions, Faiths and Sprituality. (refer About Us).

       

      The difference being how as an individual you interpret what is widely referred to, but relatively unknown - The Noosphere

       

      It's the intangible layer above the atmosphere that most Religions call 'God', The Spiritualists call 'The Universe' and Atheists know only as 'The Internet'
