BALLE day three

In order to feel successful at being sustainable it is vital to recognize it as a developmental pathway. And that the journey down the path is best supported by a network of relationships in alignment with your goals. There I just saved you two hours of sitting in a conference breakout session. Seems like good advice.

Later in the day I learned that local complimentary currencies had evolved to include sophisticated technological solutions built on the loyalty/rewards card systems. Sonoma has just such a system, though it wasn’t clear that there was a compelling case for businesses to participate. There are also local paper based systems, like BerkShares in western Mass that are amazingly well integrated into the local economy, including having the local banks placing the script into circulation.
