Towards a complementary green world currency!
One-line description :
A soft & smart idea for the future of humankind : let's create "The Crocus", a green currency for the whole world.
Summary :
We The People could propose a revolutionary, peaceful and fresh idea : create an additional money system backed by (= indexed upon = pegged to) the growth of healthy living terrestrial biomass that means soils, greenery, all kind of animals, in both natural ecosystems and human sustainable agroecosystems (ideally: permaculture). It could be called : « The crocus » !
What if all that is green could “save the world”? It is proved that soils and plants, natural as well as agrarian, can sequester the atmospheric CO2 and help cooling the planet.

The monetary vector may be the trick that will bring together the world's energies, acting as a catalyst which has been dramatically lacking on earth so far.
For the situation is urgent! If we do not quickly diminish global warming, agriculture will become increasingly difficult, its efficiency increasingly erratic. Added to this are the increase of diseases, and the decline of bees, resulting in the downfall of our civilization, the end of mankind, apart from a few pockets of survival, here and there.
The living biomass mentioned above :
- Has the property of being naturally inflationary (if the conditions are right : substrate, water, sun);
- Allows excess atmospheric carbon to be trapped,
- which therefore reduces global warming
- Stores solar energy;
- Provides everybody with food and drinking water;
- Brings work to anyone looking for one;
- And therefore increases the people’s autonomy (especially women’s), solidarity and happiness.
It’s time to explain to humans that they must regulate their activity within the earth-system, from a thermo-dynamic point of view. And it is quite possible! How? Through increasing healthy living earth biomass!
It could be proposed to the International Climate Change Conference (COP21) which will be held in Paris in November 2015 !
Important dates :
- The World Day of soils (December 5).
- 2015 is declared the International Year of Soils (IYS), which aims to increase awareness and understanding of the importance of soil for food security and essential ecosystem functions.
Thank you for your attention, and share the idea around you!
