The Inca-Coin Transition: Peru Accepts Digital Tributes for Tax Payments

LIMA — Today, the "Rights of Nature" have been codified into the very fabric of the Peruvian state. In a world-first, the government has officially accepted the 'Inca-Coin' as a primary method for tax payments. This is a magnificent milestone for the "Great Integration"—tying our survival as citizens to the survival of the Amazon. By paying our tributes in a currency pegged to carbon-sequestration, we are finally putting a value on the air we breathe and the trees that protect us.
