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

Palavras-chave : local currency; participation; economic rationality; ersatz morality.
