Money IS green! And here all these years I thought "money", for Americans, only consisted of paper "fiat" script. Or printed wastepaper, if you prefer.

Money, that is REAL money, was invented by a guy named Penny, in England. This is our more modern variety. There has existed money in the form of coins or medallions for almost all of human history. But the small lowly Penny, is for us "poor folk". I use the parenthesis due to the abstract thought of the image for "penny" is not the same as that used by Mr. Penny way back when. You see, in his days, a penny was indeed worth that much. But times, they are a changing?

Gold and the more popular, silver, has existed beyond memory. If any intellectuals tells you it was only from "such and such" a date, don't you believe them! Like the Penny, it was just too good an idea not to use. But, money in the ancient days had better be worth its denomination stamped thereupon, or you were apt to die over the difference! Instead, today we may argue over the differences between the value of the almost copper penny, and its mostly "other" metal content, being actually worth a penny in value. Actually, it costs much more than a penny to make. We would be better off without it! But then there is the normal "One Worlder" who would want us to use "debit cards".

Debit Cards are pieces of flat plastic with embedded identity. Your identity, the bank's identity, your account identity, and even the card's own identity. All to access you account in fractions of a sale second. The problem is; that as soon as you change your fiat script printed wastepaper for" plastic only", you are in big trouble!

Big trouble; I ain't kidding you" becomes something you would have to overcome to make your ends meet. I am full of those particular type of sayings, because I was taught them in order to cause me to remember them. Not as poetry, but as fact! Fact is; we convert to "plastic only" and we save tons of millions of money by not having to print fiat money! No printing; no printers! No printers; no labor! No labor; no employees! No employees; no need for the plastic! You see? Besides all that, we would see our Government increase their spending (I always wondered why they say "Our country debt" when they mean "Our chance to spend more"?) to take up the slack of all those saved millions by not having to print paper. Figures.

A plastic economy might give someone the stinking idea to change our system of money! We could use a different system. One that is more normal. Like that of the EU? You get my drift? Or one that is "common" to all the American Union? See? Wouldn't you hate not to have the "float" between our currency and that of Mexico? Our one "whatever" would be worth their one "whatever"! We would be assimilated all the quicker, don't cha' see? I ain't kidding you!

Ok, what we have is a system, in plastic, that can change overnight. One day the dollar, is an "A", and the next day it is worth .25 or 1/4 of a dollar, because someone says so! Talk about quick!

There is only one way to create "green" out of money. And that is, evidently, to own tons of land and plant trees! Then you enroll them acres in the "Carbon Emissions Trading Program" the U.S. Government has. That will get you lots of bytes, not in plastic, of "Carbon Credits". This is worth a mint! Ok, a small mint. But nonetheless, it is very much valued by the corporations that have to toe the mark when it comes to emissions!

"A" Corporation Wants to burn oil. Or coal, or both! They also do not want to spend all the money necessary to update their facility. Not the one in America anyway. So they get to continue use of the facility, but only if they can keep their carbon emissions low enough. But, they get to subtract from that total emission any "Carbon Credits" that they have. OR can buy! It is sort of like a "cut this cupon out for .25 cents off the purchase of soap, or food. Neat right?

Well, I guess! Especially if you are in Office, and have tons of land, and have tons of trees! All of which you sign up under the program and earn tons of money by not cutting them all down to earn money! Especially if you don't need the wood to make paper to print the fiat money upon! Get the picture?

The value of this is said (reading many newspapers for sources) to be about; $1.50 per acre for "no-till" land, and about $2.50 per acre of seeded grasses; and woodland perhaps higher. To the tune of about 500 ac x 5 Yr. equals 600 plus or minus tons of Carbon Credits. These can be worth more than $2,500!

Of course, being Americans still, we do have an option to sign into the program. But you must of course have lots of land, and qualify. The EU has mandatory enrollment. See that? Picture that in your mind, please. Now, picture in your mind's eye, the trillions of acres in the other countries within a soon to become formalized American Union! We have tons of open land, much of which is not being cultivated. But we do not have the combination of low population of carbon producing plants, and trillions of acres. You see what this is going to become? A huge write-off against carbon credits from other countries for the very Corporations that do the most to pollute our heavily commercial zones!

In plain ole Amer' kan Eng lash; I could say it this a way! Mexican land, growing nothing, earns Carbon Credits; which fat-cats in politics, who are mostly lawyers, buy to prop up a business that produces more pollution that it does products!

If you think becoming an American Union or anything approaching a One World Government is going to be just an "incidental journey", all paperwork and no reality for you; then you are more than a lil' bit stupid!
