Another day, another media interview (Jill Benette, CKNW Talk Show Host and Global BC Reporter

A local radio station producer contacted me to do a show.

"My name is Devon and I am the producer of The Weekend Morning News with Jill Bennett on CKNW Radio in Vancouver. I'm writing because I recently read about the story of you 'paying it forward' to people and your paying rent for a year. WOW!

I invited my new friend and visionary Peter, the "modern day JFK" and off-grid genius to join me.

Yesterday we were on "The Weekend Morning News with Jill Bennett on CKNW Radio in Vancouver. " Saturday, June 14th at 8:10am PT (11:10am ET).

My goal

Hello,

My name is Brice. I learned that 90% of cancers are caused by environmental factors (such as diet and pollution) driven by our economic system. So I decided to stop trading, bartering, buying or selling.

Eventually, I want to transition all my basic needs (housing, food, transportation) from a market to a gift economy -- to heal the underlying cause of pollution and unsustainable economic growth.

I started a group that grew to 300 members. Someone read my blog, and gave me a free car. I already have one, so I donated it. A journalist interviewed us for the Vancouver Sun. Then I'm looking for gifted housing. I received many housing & hospitality offers, but none that fit my health needs, so I decided to look into the market. I received gifted money to give to a landlord, so I will pay my rent forward.

I was inspired by Nobel Economist Joseph Stiglitz, an advisor to Bill Clinton, and UK economist Mark Boyle.

What's a gift economy? You experienced it when your mother cooked you a meal, and when your friend gave you a ride.

There's no trade, buying, selling, or bartering; only giving and receiving freely. And that's what builds true community, ends pollution, and may even reduce cancer.

I invite you to do the same.
