Principles:
we want to
- use as little money as possible but as much money as needed in order to work towards our vision and to fulfill our values.
...
- prevent waste and promote sharing and buying something is not sharing.
- live after our values and not let them be influenced by money.
- overcome coercion (Zwang), fear of not getting enough, dept and exchange (I help you only if you help me) which are all closely tied to money.
