We are starting a Community Based Time bank in the San Juan Islands of Washington. Out first planning session is today, January 13th, 2012, on Orcas island.
Our introduction was in December, by Diane Emerson, a global volunteer. http://www.islandssounder.com/community/135259323.html
I’m planning for February 13, 2012 to announce at a public hearing of the MBTA ( Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority) the idea of an individual sovereign declaration on a dated and signed piece of paper ( eventually digits) that will enable users of the T train to use “MY T MONEY” an individually issued currency for a ride on the T. ( the MBTA is planning a major price hike and many are on fixed incomes and thousands have voiced their protest of the fare increase and service reductions)
I’m thinking this is just exchanging debt for debt and will probably be looked at by many as nonsense, but I think it is a novel idea. It would increase the badly needed money supply and hopefully get people thinking
also the GM ( General Manager) said at a meeting recently the T should accept “any” currency.

p.s. Doesn’t MY T MONEY have a nice “ring” to it….sounds like …..mighty money! If you think about it it’s really the best way to get THE PEOPLE’S honest money into circulation! IF Every individual can guarantee a product or service the money they issue …then there would be a more peaceful, transparent and just monetary system!
