OXFAM Uses Collective Intelligence From Elders To Beat The Recession

In the United Kingdom OXFAM is empowering the greatest generation to share their recession beating tips with the rest of the country through consumer generated media. Below Barbara Warmsley, Oxfam's Green Granny, continues her series of tips and ideas for saving money and living better. Here she talks about a great website for generating recipes from leftovers and shows how simply flicking a switch can save you cash.

The program is an ingenious way to capture knowledge and share it at a low cost for the benefit of the community at large. The challenge is that most of us have little to no experience in managing a slowing economy the way that prior generations do. With the current global economic slowdown it is apparent that we have a lot to learn from them.
