The current situation and the potential of eco-currency
Currently a brazilian farmer like Alberto, with land in a rain forest doesn’t have much choice to survive. The easiest way for him to make any money out of his land is to cut the wood, burn the rest of it and turn it into farmland so he can start agriculture.
Time for an alternative; Eco-Currency. The solution is simple; the nature is assessed and Alberto gets his value paid in a new currency, eco-currency. Alberto will earn money from interest over his eco capital. He can maintain the forest and live from it.
To fund these there are several possibilities. One example is to raise tax on every financial transaction; known as ‘tobin-tax‘
