"Money is not
the key that opens the gates of the market but the bolt that bars them"

report.
The project is 100%
ecological. With regard to energy consumption, hand labour carried out under
the local money systems set is privileged. The basis of calculation of this
money system is the perceived value of one hour's work and the contiunous
interest-free recycling of the available trading units at local level.
At a second level, the
project privileges the use of renewable energy sources. The use of wood and
charcoal for cooking is eliminated. Organic and non-organic wastes are locally
recycled at the lowest level possible. Zero energy local production units are
set up to make items from gypsum necessary for project execution from gypsum
composite. The manufacturing processes require no energy other than human
muscle energy. Used (grey) water is recycled
at household level. Used water in the gypsum composite production units
is internally recycled for manufacturing purposes.
The social and financial
structures set up under the project offer a three tiered soicial security
system for the aged, the sick and the handicapped, covering both their formal
money and their local money obligations to the project, and in with respect to
their general quality of life. For example, a sick person may be freed from his
local money debits at the decision of the local tank commission. The debits may
be re-dristributed amongst members of his family, amongst cooperative groups willing to support
the waker members of society, amongst all of the families referring to a tank
commission, , amongst all of the families referring to a well commission, and
in extreme cases amongst all of the families in the project area. Formal money
monhtly contributions to the Cooperative Local Development Fund can be
subsidised by the tank commission, which receives a small fund for this
purpose, by family members, or by all of the families referring to a tank or well commission.
A final environmental report
must be submitted in accordance with Annexe
18 : The environmental laws applicable to this project.
