852:, a major advocate for and scholar of community currency, outlines an argument that a lot of the problems in our society (including environmental problems and other problems that can be seen as a result of short-term thinking and a desire to make quick profits at the expense of others) stem from the nature of our currency supply--central reserve banking in particular. However, unlike most libertarians who advocate returning to currencies backed by precious metals, Greco advocates decentralized, local, community-based currencies that are backed by other means (such as businesses pledging to redeem them, or mutual credit systems backed by membership agreements and the trust in the relationships of the people in the network). 891:
global ecosystem services, some of which (e.g. disease regulation, disaster risk reduction, spiritual and mental health benefits etc) cannot possibly be protected or managed under private property, tort or market approaches because there is often no element which could be reasonably defined as property (e.g. the ecosystems involved are too diffuse and transboundary or the species are migratory), or because no objective definition of loss or benefit can be agreed (e.g. sense-of-place, and spiritual or social well-being, are entirely subjective). Someone involved in this area should add additonal iformation and references.

The second sentence in the intro says, "This is in contrast to the most common modern approach of proactive environmental legislation." FME (free market environmentalists) believe their proposals are proactive; using "proactive" as a contrast word in that sense is misleading. FMEs urge proactivity

Community currency's are not relevent to this topic. I don't think they should be included in any way in this article. Besides community currencys don't work, there are a lot of reasons why but the two main reasons being that most businesses purchase supplies nationally or internationally making a

It seems that a significant amount of debate about this topic has not been included in the article, but should be. For example, there has been significant criticism backed up by scientific data of the viability or reliability of free-market approaches to environmental protection in the context of

Sorry, but John McCain isn't a free-market environmentalist. I removed his name. The first source cited was a dead link, and the second one was to a blog post made by a man arguing AGAINST his free-market environmentalism claims from a speech. The fact is: McCain is not a supporter of the free

Related to this, the passage I edited begins with the phrase "countering the tragedy of the commons claim", yet there is no tragedy of the commons claim anywhere in this article. Does anyone know whether this "objection" is still relevant?
