What is TimeBanking?  (from Timebank Media, PA)

While timebanking was created over thirty years ago, it is a new concept to many of us.  The basic premise of timebanking is that it is an organized way to "pay it forward".  For every hour you invest doing work for someone via the TimeBank, you receive an hour that you can spend on any service offered via the TimeBank (not just with the person to whom you provided the service).  On the surface this premise seems simple, but when looked at more deeply, timebanking offers new ways of thinking about time, wealth and community.
