What you can do on the Sustainability Credit Exchange
The Rescue Earth Sustainability Credit Exchange (RESCUE Exchange) is a highly secure transaction platform based on banking software. It is also a dynamic searchable geo-directory of volunteer projects, donors, businesses and volunteers.
The tokens and points (units-of-exchange) that are available on your profile are: BZ, Qu and RE. Below is a brief summary of the tokens and points that you can use.
BZ — Blitz
BZ tokens are used by the Permablitz System for Permablitz participants to exchange / swap time. 1 BZ equals 1 minute of participant time. 2 BZ equals 1 minute of specialist time and 3 BZ equals 1 minute of a certified Permaculture Designers time. A specialist is for example, a plumber, an electrician, a carpenter, etc.
What is a Permablitz? A Permablitz is a rapid makeover / restoration of a property to be more regenerative, resilient and sustainable using permaculture as a guide. The term permablitz is a contraction of permaculture and blitz, where a blitz simply means a focused effort to get something done quickly!
To be defined as a Permablitz each project must be underpinned by a permaculture design done by someone with a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) –- the most basic permaculture qualification. Permablitz projects are predominantly in more urban / peri-urban landscapes.
Qu — Quanta
Quanta (Qu) are used for community exchange transactions between members — e.g. swapping out home grown vegetables, when buying heirloom seeds, paying for a practical course, an elective course, etc. — and online via the Regenerative Health & Lifestyle shop.
RE — RESCUE — Sustainability Credits
A RESCUE — pronounced as rescue — is a measurable Sustainability Credit. RESCUE are represented by the RE ‘token’ symbol when using the Sustainability Credit Exchange.
Volunteers volunteer to projects that are members of the Rescue Earth System and are awarded 1 RE per minute they volunteer by the project they are volunteering at. N.B. The Rescue Earth System does not have its own projects.
