Time Dollars

Time Dollars are a community-based system where people exchange services based on time rather than money. For example, one hour of gardening might be traded for one hour of tutoring. Participants accumulate and spend Time Dollars, which represent the value of their contributions, fostering mutual support and resource sharing. This approach emphasizes social reciprocity, encourages community engagement, and helps those who might need services but lack cash, creating a more inclusive and interconnected local economy.
