message from the Caribbean Blog Authority to the Caribbean Region.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Community coins appear all over the world. From the Bangla Pesa in Kenyan slums to the London Brixton Pound: alternative currencies make a different economy possible, in which groups of people can give value to things that are today considered economically worthless, or with which local economies can become more resilient. How does the phenomenon work?\n\nIt is absurd for our money system to work with monoculture, while we know from biology that if there is something wrong with that one culture that you are planting in your field, you have a huge problem. We also saw that during the financial crisis of ten years ago. \"\nIn nature there is almost no waste, everything is reused. Just as we can use the natural cycle for our own gain, we must also be able to come sooner or later to a diverse ecosystem of money that can do us all good in, among other things, the Caribbean.\n\n<strong>For deep consideration I wish to quote the following:<\/strong>\nPeople who are concerned about sustainability - with issues such as climate change, environmental degradation, food and water shortages, population growth and energy consumption - are inclined not to worry too much about the money system. They are also not looking for solutions in monetary innovations. Even economists who are also concerned about sustainability are rarely aware that our money system systematically encourages unsustainable patterns of behavior that eventually threaten the survival of people on this planet.\n\nIs money monoculture or a large pyramid scheme that increases inequality in the world.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><strong>There is hope:<\/strong>\n&nbsp;<em>The good news is that the information and communication revolution that we are experiencing today is pushing us in the right direction.\nThe Caribbean Region is facing major challenges.<\/em><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t agree with me, I respect that, but this is just my personal opinion.Thanks for reading anyway.Triggers are smoke signals which tells you there is fire somewhere&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the Digital Desk of the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caribbean Blog Authority.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32
