For countless years I’ve been working on that single sustainability project, now resulting in the first developer release of Rgbtrade. I will tell you how I got there.

Back in, say, 1994, I was already in the sustainability field (Duurzame Ontwikkeling in Dutch). I was an active member of a local youth group. As part of national NGO, we were invited for the yearly talk with the dutch minister of Environment, Margreeth de Boer. She was explainig to us what she would not preceed with the plans for an eco-tax system: too complicated for the lawyers. Now she would look at the possibility of eco-subsidy system. Well, I said – 22 yrs old, long hair, technical guy – , that will probably too difficult as well. Why not look at making the whole money system ecological?

Nobody knew what that meant: there were no words to follow those. Bad move Barry, how can you say something so weird? But here it finally is: the money system that is ecologically balanced by itself.

Yesterday, I posted the first developer release at sourceforge

So No, it is not finished yet. You can’t even place ads. But i fully trust this system will come to live.
