Cooperative Climate Banking To Save The World
Conservation Climate Forests (and other eco-restoration climate commodities) will be created and protected by our ‘Eco-Distributed Ledger ™’ in the world’s first producer-owned climate credit union.
Repurposing Wealth Generation and Carbon Markets Into Primal Ancient Forests Of Europe and the World
Crypto-Currency, transparency, and security with real roots, a secured token.
The global commitment to spending hundreds of billions on climate change has seen a plethora of market makers emerge. Unfortunately, these market makers have been first and foremost focused on their business profits and not the end result.
Some nearly 20 years ago when the Kyoto Accord and its ‘climate markets’ began to be implemented the ‘market makers’ went wild. Climate credits, ‘carbon credits’ were a commodity that could be and were flipped in a market melee, this unrestrained profiteering by traders flourished with the markets achieving hundreds of billions in apparent trading value on mere millions of end-user product value. Unrestrained market fees became blood in the water.
Today the world, via the Paris Accord, has rewritten the climate market rule book. As a top-down accord where each nation governs the ‘climate values’ it trades the chaos of the Kyoto markets that arose in presence of an unfathomable central authority is gone.
Climate Credit Union
What this new world needs are not climate bankers and brokers but rather depositor owned climate credit unions. In the grand and successful tradition and history of ‘credit unions or savings and loan associations,’ the producers will, by placing their ‘credits’ on deposit on the KlimaCoin platform, be able to not only have their deposits secure and available for instantaneous honest low fee transactions, they will become shareholders and owners of their ‘credit union’. Producers and farmers have always been drawn to the fairness and transparency of depositor owned credit unions.
How Crypto-Currency Ideas Will Help
The world is fascinated by and committed to ‘crypto-currency’ best known as BitCoin, Ether, and others. These crypto-pseudo-currencies have no real value as they exist only as an expression of complex distributed computer algorithms. They are indeed highly valued, sought after, and traded by those seeking to accumulate wealth and those seeking to find more secure means for financial transactions. As pseudo-currency utterly unsecured with nothing backing them, no nation, no deposits, no nothing, they are the definition of ‘volatile’ and ‘uncertain.’
What the crypto-currencies lack most is a real foundation asset that backs them. They need a real value like gold or fiat currency to which they are attached and in which they can be freely converted. A few fiat-backed crypto-coins that trade struggle with the reality that the real value to which they may be attached, dollars or gold, is simply more useful and valuable in its original form than as a crypto-currency.
Every real thing needs to begin with real roots, ours are trees
There is a need for a ‘standard’ to base the next generation of crypto-currency. There is also a stated intention in the Paris Accord on Climate Change to find a means to employ a distributed ledger. Putting these both together and the answer is that it should be KlimaCoin, a ‘climate-carbon’ secured token.
KlimaCoin™ will be a new form of global crypto-currency where the foundation is ‘real’ value as opposed to pure speculative value as the present crypto-currencies are. It is clear that in these desperate times of climate change and environmental collapse ‘proof of work’ to restore and repair our environment and climate is far more useful and valuable to the world than gold. There is no clearer proof of positive intention and effect than a living growing plant that captures CO2 from the air and repurposes that CO2 into new life.
As people begin to buy climate-carbon, in the Paris Accord markets that begin in 2020, KlimaCoin intends to be trading. The accumulation of KlimaCoin for many may satisfy their desire to accumulate wealth and to have their wealth generation do something more. The world will be closer to being restored and saved.
People might seek to ‘mine’ their own KlimaCoins, but not by spending their money on computer crypto-mining rigs that consume staggering amounts of polluting electricity. They might begin by paying for some of the poorest people of the world, seasonal workers, to gather the true seeds of change, tree seeds. Those who participate will see their environmental and climate restoration action turn into their wealth as measured living trees and accounted in the form of KlimaCoins on their crypto-ledger.
As each tiny acorn is collected from amongst the golden leaves of autumn surely the future will begin to be saved, from tiny acorns mighty oak trees grow. Each tree mines some of the trillion tonnes of yesterday’s industrial age carbon from the air and repurposes it into new life.
The first, the most adventurous, the most dedicated will begin by providing the truest ‘Seed Money’ of all. Money to gather the seeds of what will become the forests of Europe restored to their ancient splendor, their health, and ours.
