What if Stewardship Was Financially Recognised?

Say you’re taking the train over the car, repairing not replacing, choosing local, sharing instead of buying new. You’re not just “making good choices”—you are creating and preserving value.

But in today’s economy? That value remains mostly invisible.

🌱 What if we flipped the script?
What if acts of care and stewardship weren’t just “nice to have” — but actually earned you credit? Not just a thank you, but real, tangible benefits?

Financial recognition for sustainable choices:

• What if commuting by tram or bike, each repair, or eco-friendly choice counted?
• What if the system valued stewardship—not just consumption?

The BIG irony?
Green, organic, or local products are often more expensive.
So you have to work more & produce more to afford better choices.

💲But what are you really paying for?
• Is that premium price finally reflecting real ecological costs?
• Does it help repair the mountain of past disparities and impacts?

💡New models focused on sobriety, living within boundaries, creating resilience:

• #circulareconomy Reusing, repairing, recycling—so nothing is wasted and value is preserved.
• #doughnuteconomics Meeting needs while staying within the planet’s limits.
• #degrowth Not endless growth, but sufficiency, wellbeing, and restoring balance.

How can we amplify these ideas through our everyday, economic reality?

⁉️A deeper question:
Is it enough to consume less—or do we really need a shift to regenerative economics, reversing trends and restoring what’s been lost?

That’s how mydio.com approaches things:

1. We’re building a platform to credit actions that create and/or preserve value for Nature and community
2. Eligible actions earn you points, reflecting positive impact—not just purchasing power
3. Points can be redeemed with partners who value stewardship, making it visible & contagious

🔄 The big shift:
It’s about balance: Fine-tuning a blunt tool—adding a complementary ledger that values what keeps us thriving.

It’s about people: What if “earning a living” meant less producing, more caring and restoring?

A regenerative economy: Not just healthier ecosystems but better work-life balance?

🌊 Your drop in the oceans matters.
Let’s celebrate stewardship and start a chain reaction—redefining value and realigning growth.

Question:
If you could earn credit for stewardship, what would you do differently?
