[[Paul Hawken]] suggests wholesale reform of money and currency, based on ideas from [[green economics]] or [[Natural Capitalism]], would be beneficial.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Berghoff |first1=Hartmut |last2=Rome |first2=Adam |title=Green Capitalism?: Business and the Environment in the Twentieth Century |date=2 May 2017 |publisher=University of Pennsylvania Press |isbn=978-0-8122-4901-9 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_DWXDgAAQBAJ&dq=%22Paul+Hawken+and+others+suggest%22&pg=PA14 |language=en}}</ref> These include the ideas of [[soft currency]], [[barter (economics)|barter]] and the local [[service economy]].

[[Local currency]] systems can operate within small communities, outside of government systems, and use specially printed notes or tokens called [[scrip]]s for exchange. [[Barter (economics)|Barter]] takes this further by swapping goods and services directly; a compromise being the [[Local Exchange Trading Systems]] (LETS) scheme: a formalised system of [[community-based economics]] that records members' [[mutual credit]] in a central location.
