Description
Threebles (from 3ble for Triple Bottom Line Economics) are a currency which incorporates a triple-credit-rating so that Social, Natural and Financial Capital can all be included in the function of money.
Threebles are being launched through local trade exchanges in networks of businesses who are socially or environmentally responsible.
Threebles directly connect feedback from community members to the cost of money for businesses.
