Eco-Money is the name of many Japanese community currencies, used to connect neighbours
in obtaining the goods and services they need.
Eco-money may also be used to describe forms of alternative currency and complementary currency that encourage
ecological and socially responsible actions in other regions as well.
In spring 1999 Kusatsu
in Shiga Prefecture became the first city in Japan to
use eco-money, calling it the Ohmi, a historical name for the prefecture.
Several other cities followed suit with currencies of their own, with Matsue,
Shimane Prefecture, calling it the dagger (borrowed
from the local dialect) and Takaoka
in Toyama Prefecture.
Some 30 more communities across Japan are introducing such
currencies. Some municipalities plan to use the money to plant trees and reduce
garbage.
