http://community-exchange.org/exchparams.asp?country=AU&sort=prov   LETS- Local Energy Trading System : A community that exchanges by trade and eco dollars. The only cash is the low joining fee and a yearly deposit of 10$. From there it is free. Helped me through a low income period of 3 years. Alternative to money. You offer whatever you want-lessons, healings, food and can take up things offered by others. Your account goes up and down in credit depending if you give or receive a service. You can start or join these anywhere in the world.
