The town charges consumers $.25 a bag.
I’m (mining fiat) helping a friend at a local family owned boutique.
Every piece of clothing shipped (including ‘sustainable denim’, organic cotton etc.)is individually sealed in a plastic bag, with a packet of silica.
One delivery box may contain 50 plastic bags.
Every clothing store, everywhere, receives dry goods packaged this way.
The other day I was rambling about boxes, thinking outside them, and bitcoin.
I mentioned the potential to re-envision product life cycle …
A natural, biodegradable garment shipping bag, made of thin film hemp/algae (No soy/GMO)
Businesses (local) collect the packaging, and it is utilized as feedstock for local/regional biomass gasification plants. (natural biodegradable material including timber, has different by-product than plastics/garbage).
The Biomass gasification plant/hybrid energy system, mines bitcoin.
Now your bag pays you.
These are unprecedented times. Freedom over profit.
