Interra Testimonials
 

People are talking about The Interra Project:

"The Interra model has the potential to transform the Cultural Creatives subculture into an economic reality. Such a process would have huge significance, not only economically, but also in the social and the consciousness awareness realm."
- Bernard Lietaer, author,
"The Future of Money"

"I have dreamed of ways to coalesce the purchasing power of movements for a more equitable, peaceful and ecologically sustainable world."
- Hazel Henderson, economist and author, "Beyond Globalization"

"The Interra model is a brilliant social and financial invention that can help bring a green economy into greater practicality. This is hot stuff, and needs all our support. It functions rather like an alternative currency or an airline miles program, to help encourage mutual loyalty among green/socially responsible consumers. In particular, it does a better job of incentivizing a mutual loyalty of businesses and customers who share the same values."
- Paul H. Ray, author,
"The Cultural Creatives"
