COELHO, Sandra Lima. And could I pay another way: the use of a local currency as a tool to mobilize recycling practices and boost local commerce in Campolide. Anál. Social [online]. 2019, n.233, pp.760-781. ISSN 0003-2573.  https://doi.org/10.31447/AS00032573.2019233.04.

This article presents the modus operandi of “Pago em Lixo”, a project created by the Parish Council of Campolide (PFC), in Lisbon, which implemented a local currency, Lixo, with the aim of involving the community in the separation of waste. One analyzes the motivations that are in its genesis. Data collected in a semi-directive interview with the President of the PFC, shows that the main motivation of the PFC is economic: to strengthen trade and the local economy, and reduce the financial burden on street cleaning, but also encourages residents to perform behaviors of greater civic awareness, which reflects ersatz morality

Palabras clave : local currency; participation; economic rationality; ersatz morality.
