Film & Discussion Feb. 28: Complementary Currency

2/16/2013

11 Comments

 
Momentum is growing for launching a complementary currency system in Oahu. Join the early-stage discussion!
  • Thursday, Feb 28, 6-8 p.m.
  • 667 W Hind Dr., Honolulu, HI
    (a home in Aina Haina -- see map)
  • Potluck pupus

We will show a few selected short videos related to complementary currencies that describe LETS (local exchange trading systems), a paper currency called Ithaca HOURS, and a "transition" paper currency backed one-to-one by government-issue money.

We also plan to demo a LETS system online.

The videos are short so we have time to discuss options for Oahu and begin to chart next steps!
