New Money for Healthy Communities
DualCurrency Systems - Hybrid - www.DualCurrency.com
An environmentally sustainable and socially just global economy calls for game changing innovation. DualCurrency Systems proposes a profit-driven, yet equitable, new financial instrument. Today, businesses reward consumer spending with frequent flyer miles and other loyalty rewards. Why not also reward community volunteerism, green energy use and other socially beneficial behaviors? Everyone wins: merchants accept rewards for dual currency deals on their unused capacity; communities mobilize untapped time and talents of people; revenue sharing with community organizations inspires cross-sector coalitions; the payments industry provides rapid global adoption. Economic innovation in action! Please visit http://www.DualCurrency.com/Youtopia

New money systems are absolutely essential for our world to transform.

This is one of the best ideas I've ever heard. If our priorities are quality of life for all, this is the solution.

This financial instrument promotes the 'win-win-win - or no deal' philosophy that I believe in. It builds our community by calling forth contribution & commitment to pro-social values/causes, promotes collaborative relationships, honors and acknowledges 'volunteers' and those who are acting in our LONG-term best interest (example: building rain gardens, ...)
We need more of this kind of social interest thinking w/ innovative tools that directly build momentum for the community of our preferred future. -

Our money system is at the heart of so much that is going wrong on the planet, while a dual currency may offer a way to unleash enormous new energies in support of sustainability and healthier communities. It is one of the key SYSTEMIC tools we have at our disposal, and one of the few that taps directly into the private sector..

Now if you could find a way to financially reward us for laying on the couch and eating snacks and drinking a cold beer... you'd have the majority of our nation on board!!

The world needs this...now. I'm willing to believe it's fully possible to change our economic paradigm. So what are we waiting for? Dual Currency can be the answer with its win/win/win model. I hope you get the votes you need to keep this concept growing into our world.

The Dual Currency System is essential to fair and just society. Since there are so many resources and such a tight money supply, dual currency is exactly the kind of economy we need.

An exciting and valid idea. Our present currency, like that of other countries, is valid also but why not use un-sold capacity to meet un-met needs?
