"With food :) Well Julia, how exactly is not easy to answer but since Maarten asked for BIG challenging ideas for his last months I thought I throw this up. I guess he can't manage to stop all starvation in one month but maybe he can some small steps..."November 19 2012 on Stop starvation!

Make a list of 30 things you don't like about your city. Every day of the month, do something in order to change one of them or to inspire more people to do something about it. March 31 2012
"Hi everybody! Yes, it's about meeting people you'd normally never talk to but of course it has a higher goal which is being confronted with your own judgements and prejudices in daily life. It could well be that te persons choose to see each other after the conversation. Or not. Or exchange numbers without seeing each other etc etc. It has nothing to do with dating, but I think a lot of people would be interested in meeting new people in this way without the 'examinational' part of the looks. Apart from this I think, because the visual communication is missing which makes it more 'surreal', people wouldn't be scared to really open up to each other, a bit like they would do with a priest during a confession. Against a society based on looks! :) Cheers!"March 8 2012 on Create a place somewhere in the city which makes it possible for...

"Bart! Let's have a talk about that ''suppressing palestinians'' one day. Dat politiek correct links gepapagaai vanuit de luie westerse design stoel zet geen zode aan de dijk natuurlijk ;) "February 7 2012 on Chain yourself outside the Syrian embassy.
"i see a lot of ideas about consumption, environment, organic stuff etc which is of course really good but some of those seem to be inventive challenges for Maarten rather than small steps to make the world a better place in my opinion. Correct me if i'm wrong here. I like people! There are lots of people in need of direct help/love. Come on guys; social screams and ideas! peace! Thierry"January 9 2012 on Don't spend money. Just exchange things, talent, services for...
"uhm, to prevent misunderstanding: you can only add ideas until the 15th of a month..."January 5 2012 on The first exciting steps into this new year.
"Closing at the end of the month is clear indeed. You might consider giving each idea 2 weeks to be voted on? It's a bit short but like that each idea still has the same amount of time, which is completely fair. In other words: an idea posted on the 1th of january will close on 15, an idea on the 15 will close on 31. And of course ideas in between, so 4-19, 8-23 etc etc... cheers!"January 5 2012 on The first exciting steps into this new year.
