LETS (Local Energy Trading System) is a not for profit local community group in the eastern region of Melbourne.
Instead of parting with your hard earned CASH, you exchange your skills with other members for points not money… it’s as simple as that! Membership allows you to exchange your skills, services & goods with other members. One hour of service is equivalent to 25 tokens and all members’ skills are valued equally.
Let’s say you need some gardening done, pets minded while you are away or want to declutter that spare room. Instead of paying someone to do it, you would refer to your MERLETS Directory to find someone available to do the work. It’s that easy… In return, you offer your services to a LETS member at another time.
