alonovo.com, the Intelligent Marketplace Announces Cooperative Technology Agreement with the Interra Project
alonovo.com and the Interra Project to Build Meta-Directory Shared Services
(CSRwire) SCOTTSDALE, AZ - alonovo.com provides an intelligent,
informed online shopping experience for the powerful consumer demographic.
By directly integrating trusted Social Responsibility (SR) ratings coupled
with a large, price-competitive array of products into a visually
compelling and simple user experience, alonovo.com has started to redirect
consumer spending based upon Social Responsibility ratings. alonovo.com's
mission is to catalyze a constructive relationship between an informed
marketforce demand and the business supply chain. This accelerates the
"race to the top" among businesses that are working to balance people,
planet and profit by moving SR directly into the profit equation.
The Interra Project is focused on empowering a community based movement of
citizen consumers by providing tools for a direct alignment between daily
economic activities and our deepest human values. Interra provides
transaction processing services, a combined-directory of information, and
community alliance building services. The intent of the Interra Project is
to strengthen the local, independent, citizen-based economics.
alonovo.com co-founder K. Joey Shepp stated "We are pleased to work with
the Interra Project on providing Shared Meta-Directory services to our
respective communities. Working together with Interra helps us rapidly
contribute to local community businesses in a meaningful way which leads
to neighborhood revitalization, local opportunities and job growth. In
the near future, as the concept of the Interra Project moves into full
implementation, we see many people that comprise the alonovo.com community
shopping and paying with their Interra-enabled payment card."
Both the Interra Project and alonovo.com share revenue with
organizations such as the American Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity,
Doctors Without Borders, Global Exchange, Stand for Children, UNICEF, the
Benefit Bank, the National Military Family Association, Oxfam America and
many others. Each alonovo.com and/or Interra Project registered member
selects their beneficiary organization providing direct funding to many
great community-selected causes.
