Hi Rosalinda,<br><br>yes, I think personally that steady-state is compatible with p2p and sustainability outcomes and I personally prefer this conceptualisation to degrowth,<br><br>have you contacted CASSE (they have a good website) about your question; they have a series of briefs, one of them is about the 'trophic principle', which may be related to a new type of trade accounts; I assume they have the collaborative nature of scientific communities ..<br>
<br>otherwise, Hazel and Rosalinda are experts in green markets and I think they may have a better answer,<br><br>perhaps you could have a look at my 'green metrics' tag here, <a href="http://www.delicious.com/mbauwens/P2P-Metrics+P2P-Ecology">http://www.delicious.com/mbauwens/P2P-Metrics+P2P-Ecology</a> ; <a href="http://www.delicious.com/mbauwens/P2P-Metrics+P2P-Sustainability">http://www.delicious.com/mbauwens/P2P-Metrics+P2P-Sustainability</a><br>
<br>Have you looked into Mark Whitaker's commodity ecology, <a href="http://p2pfoundation.net/Commodity_Ecology">http://p2pfoundation.net/Commodity_Ecology</a> ; and the human/civic balance sheet approach explained here: <a href="http://www.phibetaiota.net/2011/07/reference-integrity-at-scale-free-online-book/">http://www.phibetaiota.net/2011/07/reference-integrity-at-scale-free-online-book/</a><br>
<br>I keep track of ecological economics here at <a href="http://p2pfoundation.net/" target="_blank">http://p2pfoundation.net</a>/Category:Ecology <br><br>Sorry that I can't give you a more precise answer, but I copy your query to our mailing list, and perhaps others have other info,<br>

Hi Michel<br>
<br>
I am not sure whether they are congruent with the p2p thinking but do<br>
think that steady state economies hold some hope for good ecological<br>
outcomes. do you know how open or community collaborative they are and<br>
whether there is such a thing as a steady state stock exchange yet and<br>
how it differs from a usual stock exchange. i assume there must be<br>
steady stteness between countries and regions and that it must be<br>
expressed as a different flavour of trade? just wondered if you had<br>
any thoughts in this area.<br>
<br>
cheers<br>
