The processes used to obtain the goods we consume and the services required to uphold current levels of comfort are hidden in the depths of industry; therefore it is difficult to see the connection between our consumption level and the drastic changes being experienced globally.

Through Barter, this paradigm shift can be achieved while connections are formed between individuals by passing on goods and services. This form of interaction instils responsibility by changing how one thinks about objects when they themselves become currency.
