About Us

We are three students doing project at the TU/e (Eindhoven University of Technology) at the faculty of Industrial Design. Currently working on the project called 'Eco-Currency'.
The starting point of the Eco-Currency project is the hypothesis that an important factor in our current environmental crisis is the disconnect between the economical ecology and the environmental ecology. With the latter we mean the ecology of plants, trees, animals, and other organic material. Whereas the economical ecology is defined by our financial system of market, money, goods and other economical exchange. Our second working hypothesis states that we could address environmental issues by linking the economical sphere and the environmental sphere in a better way than that is is currently the case.
