Colourcash is not a way to rebalance ecologic systems. Colourcash is an economic system for ecologically stable systems. Why then are we using this example of the Chinese Loess Plateau?
Because an economic system is hard to see. You can only see the results. And there are striking similarities.
In the example of the Chinese Loess Plateau - where permaculture on a large scale is applied to restore the habitat, we see a similarity between abuse of that landscape and the abuse that capitalism is doing all over the planet - fed by ignorance and self-interest.
When it comes to solving the problem, we use system-approaches that let the rules of ecology work for the system. Either permaculture or colourcash, both live on the same set of rules. As permaculturists would say, they are part of the same guild.
Welcome!
