Energy, environment, economy, engagement in fighting climate change
Each of us is called to help fight against climate change, but what practical decisions can one make to effectively solve seemingly unsurmountable problems? How should one react to the daily misinformation and disinformation? EmCoin is a type of token that represents the amount of energy used to produce the goods we buy. With this token, we can budget how much energy we want to spend and thus help in grass-roots sustainability – beyond any greenwashing. This new scenario integrates energy, economy, and the environment, together with experts and researchers in biophysical economics, product life cycles, and “unconventional” economic theories. The idea is to base our daily behaviors on the rule of nature and the physics of economy.
