Two financial/ economic alternative systems might make sense in this moment of the planet: 1 Is related to things and

d resources that are finite, like the use of raw materials and with the concerns of the development and economic growth models that speak about zero growth as well as the concerns of permaculture. It addresses humans basic needs, the matters that so often become the center of our attention and that we need to be able to provide for everyone in order that civilization can proceed and culture may be nurtured. Its aim is to provide housing, food, and clothing and, as well as physical, material medicine is concern, health for everyone respecting the planets ecosystems sustainability. It may translate in a minimum planetary guaranteed income for every citizen or take other contours, with possibility of some plasticity according to the individuals contribute to society. It must, in any place of the planet correspond to a maximum of a half a day work. It resorts to technology and mechanization to reduce the number of work hours necessary , to design in the sense of better planification and structures optimization and production innovation. It also integrates biomimicry and similar approaches in order to keep all matter within biological, life cycles and exponentiate them. The currency created for this type of use is finite as well as the resources and cannot buy products of system number 2 or reciprocally. Both systems are independent. . 2 Is related to activities that almost entirely correspond to what is known as tertiary sector and do not imply or imply only to a minimum and in a way that almost no loss happens, but the re-use the use of (raw) materials. This currency is infinite and does not represent a privilege since it cannot be converted from system 1 currency and neither does it guarantee security or ostentatory privileges related to system 1 needs. It cannot be transformed in better houses (though everyone has the right to cheap, healthy and agreeable ones), more luxury clothes or the like. It relates to dance, music, education in any level and many ways, travelling (in ecological ways) and the meeting of humanity and its earthly home. It also concerns therapies, massages, concerts, literature, learning, history, group formation and group enjoyment, solitude time, etc. It has more to do with experiences than with consumerism, transferring the urge and the energy put into growth through matter to growth through culture and creativity. This currency exists in infinite quantity and can always be created in vaster quantities the abundance of some does not imply or suppose the scarcity of others, on the contrary.

Environmental and landscape requalification, purifying and re-energizing natural systems, the work with the Earths beauty and fertility are desirably inspired , as everything, by Beauty and then they can and will be better accomplished when consisting of an aesthetic and loving experience, just as scientific and technologic research. In that sense we see a world in which all activities have an artistic characteristic, even the ones that concern the improvement of life in a biological level and which are so important.
