IsThereEnough is a nonprofit dedicated to replacing war with agreement. We conduct our conversation by webinars, zoom meetings, surveys, dinners and the casual conversation.
We have asked this question all over the world to hundreds of people from diplomates to cabdrivers and even a classroom of kindergarteners.
But why are we asking the world is there enough?
Buckminster Fuller's World Game was a problem-solving tool and a social experiment designed to address global challenges and create a sustainable future for humanity. The game was based on the principles of systems thinking, where players would analyze and design solutions to complex global problems using a world map and other visual aids.
The World Game aimed to demonstrate that there is enough resources and technology available to meet the basic needs of every human being on the planet, provided that resources were managed effectively and equitably.
The IsThereEnough question shifts focus from external problem-solving to internal reflection and self-awareness.
We invite people to this conversation through webinars, zoom meetings, dinners, surveys or the casual conversation. By asking people if there is enough for all of humanity to survive rather than telling them shifts the conversation from a top-down, authoritative approach to a more collaborative and inclusive approach. It empowers individuals to assess their own needs and resources, and to have a voice in decision-making processes that affect them.
We create a space for dialogue and mutual understanding by doing this, we can build trust and foster a sense of community. This can also lead to more creative solutions and collaborations that take into account diverse perspectives and needs.
After exploring the question of IsThereEnough in depth, it may become clear that there is indeed enough, but with some important caveats. In fact, there is a rather large "but" in the middle of the matter that must be addressed in order to truly understand the situation.
We are working to solve this problem, with your help.

With even a small one-time or monthly contribution, you will help us to be able to fund a media campaign to spread a simple new conversation of personal and social responsibility and create an economy based on agreement, not war. As Buckminster fuller once said, " you never change things by fighting the existing realty. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete." Our current system is not working because not everyone is valued. Please give, and help us to build a new one that is focused on 100% of all of us, everywhere.
