The integration of Time Banking with resilience initiatives

LOCAL MONEY, the latest book in the Transition Towns series, includes a sidebar about the Lyttelton Time Bank.

Selected excerpt:

“The time bank is a wonderful tool for building strong community links.  It deals with the trading of services, and future plans include a ‘Genuine Wealth System’ – an interest-free loan/saving scheme.  Further down the track will be a swipe card, and a link between energy production and complementary currencies”

Read in the attached about the integration of Time Banking with Lyttelton’s Information Centre, the local school, the community gardens, energy systems and more.
