Economics on our terms:
Creating a Financial Permaculture is a design endevor that ask us to circulate money locally, and find innovative ways to promote trading and exchange systems that align with ecological patterns and boundaries.
Finanacial Permaculture ask us to remove our time, attention and money from investments in global corporations that destroy local culture and ecology for profit, and re-invests capital in local enterprises that put people and planet on their bottom line ledger.
Financial Permaculture is the conscious whole system design of human financial systems to create a zero waste economy that cares for the earth, the people and distributes surplus of material, currency and knowledge in a fair and equitable manner.
Financial Permaculture, like a Permaculture Design, is context dependent. each Financial Permaculture design will be a different arrangement of design elements such and Local Currency, Local Investment, Green Business, Coops, and ZERI industries to create the most mutually beneficial and symbiotic relationships between different elements in the human ecology that defines a particular community.
The Financial Permaculture Initiative in Hohenwald Tennessee is intended to help create a local participatory design for green businesses that can address the needs of the local community in a sustainable manner. The hope of the Financial Permaculture Steering Committee is that this initiative can become a template for other initiatives, network with other existing movements and initiatives and add new voices and wisdom to the collective and cooperative movement towards a regenerative human community.
