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
