I believe that projects are everywhere, ubiquitous, and that it is in the thousands of projects I see everyday that I can have the greatest impact. I work to be a constant source of positive reinforcement and encouragement to everyone working on projects, posting six days a week to share good news, good thoughts, and great projects with my project peers.

Crowd-Funded Project of the Week - The Plastic Bank
This week's Crowd-Funded Project of the Week is from Indiegogo.com. The Plastic Bank is truly an attempt to change the world for the better. My only nit is that they are introducing a token economy instead of using regular local currency.

Hey Alan! Thanks so much for posting about the campaign. We really appreciate the help!
ReplyDeleteAs for the use of a "token currency" there's considerable data to back up the idea of using a token economy in the developing world. I found this article that supports that and outlines some of that research. http://sustainablog.org/2013/01/local-currencies-token-exchange-system/
Obviously this is a really big conversation and I think your post could spark a great discussion. I've put "benefits of a token economy" on the upcoming blog list.
Thanks again!
