皇家國家救生艇研究所
皇家國家救生艇機構( RNLI )係最大嘅慈善機構,喺英國、愛爾蘭共和國、海峽群島同馬恩島嘅海岸,同埋部分內陸水路嘅海上拯救生命。
Their service is to save people out at sea- and they do this in a completely trade-free manner. People don’t need to go to the RNLI website to be saved, so I would like to give them 5 blocks, but I’ll give them 4 just so people are aware that they have trackers (and possible ads) on their website. Since their service is mainly out at sea (and not online), I would say that it is trade-free.
我喺佢哋網站上面見到嘅幾個追蹤器(同埋可能嘅廣告)嘅 3 個區塊。佢哋嘅服務的確係冇貿易嘅,但佢哋嘅服務亦都係佢哋嘅網站,佢哋可以透過呢個網站獲得幫助、提供教育、聯絡等等。佢哋應該移除呢啲追蹤器!
Their philosophy is “to provide our lifesaving service using volunteers wherever possible, with voluntary donations supplying the funds needed to do so” and they saved more than 100.000 lives since 1824. On top of that they run educational programs where they “explain the risks and share safety knowledge with anyone going out to sea or to the coast”. They even work internationally. So it seems like they don’t do all that to make a profit or because they want to get anything in return. But because they just want to save people. That seems like a great example of a trade-free service.
