Z-DAY

Z-DAY is coming on the 12th of March, and if you have no idea what I'm talking about then maybe it's time you found out!

Z-DAY or Zeitgeist-Day is a global event which occurs in the middle of March each year. the goal is to increase public awareness of the Zeitgeist Movement and The Venus Project.

What is The Zeitgeist Movement?

The Zeitgeist Movement started in late 2008, it exists fundamentally as the communication and activist arm of the organization called The Venus Project. The basic pursuit of the movement is to begin a transition into a new, sustainable social design called a 'Resource-Based Economy'. This term was first coined by Jacque Fresco of The Venus Project, and refers to an economic structure based exclusively on strategic resource management, as  the starting point for all decisions.

What is The Venus Project?

The Venus Project is an organization that proposes a feasible plan of action for social change. One that works towards a peaceful and sustainable global civilization. It outlines an alternative to strive toward where human rights are no longer paper proclamations but a way of life.

The Venus Project advocates an alternative vision for a sustainable new world civilization unlike any social system that has gone before. Although this description is highly condensed, it is based upon years of study and experimental research by many, many people from many scientific disciplines.

What is a Resourced Based Economy?

A Resourced Based Economy is a system in which all goods and services are available without the use of a money, credits,barter or any other system of debt or servitude. All resources become the common heritage of all of the inhabitants, not just a select few. The premise upon which this system is based is that the Earth is abundant with plentiful resources; our practice of rationing resources through monetary methods is irrelevant and counter productive to our survival.

Who is Jacque Fresco?

Mr Fresco's background includes industrial design and social engineering, as well as being a forerunner in the field of Human Factors. He has worked as both a designer and inventor in a wide range of fields spanning from biomedical innovations to totally integrated social systems. He has worked nearly his entire life to create the tools needed to assist a design of the world which could eventually eradicate war, poverty, crime, social stratification and corruption. The Venus Project reflects the culmination of Jacque Fresco's life work: the integration of the best of science and technology into a comprehensive plan for a new society based on human and environmental concern. It is a global vision of hope for the future of humankind in our technological age.
