05.17 Environmental impact report.
The project is 100% ecological. With regard to energy consumption, hand
labour carried out under the local money systems set is privileged. The basis
of calculation of this money system is the perceived value of one hour's work
and the contiunous interest-free recycling of the available trading units at
local level.
At a second level, the project privileges the use of renewable energy
sources. The use of wood and charcoal for cooking is eliminated. Organic and
non-organic wastes are locally recycled at the lowest level possible. Zero
energy local production units are set up to make items from gypsum necessary
for project execution from gypsum composite. The manufacturing processes
require no energy other than human muscle energy. Used (grey) water is
recycled at household level. Used water
in the gypsum composite production units is internally recycled for
manufacturing purposes.
The social and financial structures set up under the project offer a
three tiered soicial security system for the aged, the sick and the
handicapped, covering both their formal money and their local money obligations
to the project, and in with respect to their general quality of life. For
example, a sick person may be freed from his local money debits at the decision
of the local tank commission. The debits may be re-dristributed amongst members
of his family, amongst cooperative
groups willing to support the waker members of society, amongst all of the
families referring to a tank commission, , amongst all of the families
referring to a well commission, and in extreme cases amongst all of the
families in the project area. Formal money monhtly contributions to the
Cooperative Local Development Fund can be subsidised by the tank commission,
which receives a small fund for this purpose, by family members, or by all of
the families referring to a tank or well
commission.
A final environmental report must be submitted in accordance with Annexe 18 : The environmental
laws applicable to this project.
