March 10 - The Future of Money or Financial Permaculture - 7:00 PM - Ellsworth Public Library, River View Room - Michael Anderson will present this important topic about Financial Permaculture, a systems approach using permaculture techniques and philosophy that create a zero waste economy that cares for the earth, it's inhabitants and distributes surplus material, currency and knowledge in a fair and equitable manner. It also seeks to create mutually beneficial and symbiotic relationships while healing the ecology. This talk will explain the parasitic nature of our current economic system and look at alternatives that include interest and inflation free money, local currencies, mutual credit clearing and green businesses. Money should be made to serve, not rule, to be used - rather than profit oriented - and to create abundance, stability and sustainability. Donations welcomed.
