When Money Breathes with the Earth - Brain Bee Ideas

Federal Deputy — Joinville

First-Person Consciousness

Sometimes, when I take a deep breath, I realize that the air entering my lungs is the same air that flows through the leaves of the Atlantic Forest.
We are made of the same movement.
The oxygen nourishing my body today may have been exhaled thousands of years ago by a sambaqui dweller dancing by the sea—when time was still measured by tides, not by interest rates.

Before understanding what I propose, one must feel what is being said.
Because what I call DREX Citizen is not merely an economic policy—it is a remembrance of what we have forgotten:
that value is born in the living body, not in the abstractions of markets.

For centuries, we believed money was a measure of power.
But, like everything detached from nature, it stopped pulsing.
What we propose is to make it breathe again—not through banks, but through people.
Each citizen as a living cell in a body called Brazil, receiving daily energy to live, create, and belong.
That is the nation’s yield—the heartbeat of a living State.

And what if, at the same time, the planet could reward those who keep it breathing?
What if the simple acts of preserving, recycling, composting, or caring for the land became ways of generating wealth without guilt, without destruction?
That is the Human Carbon Credit—the recognition that a biome is a greater being, and that living within it means participating in an ecological mind that pulses in synchrony with our own.

I feel that Joinville is the place where this idea begins to take shape.
Here, where the Atlantic Forest still touches the sea and the sambaqui heritage still speaks, time seems to bend between past and future.
The dances, the flowers, and the vanishing waste born of ecological awareness show that it is possible to synchronize economy and biology, body and politics, finance and forest.

DREX Citizen and Human Carbon Credit are not tools of government—they are tools of life.
They arise from the realization that the State must act as an organism:
with a heart that beats (DREX),
lungs that breathe (the biomes),
and conscious cells (the citizens).

Before any law, this is a change of rhythm.
To stop running after money, and allow money to run with us again.
To stop measuring people by consumption, and start measuring by preservation.
To make money circulate like blood: with purpose, with limits, with belonging.

I feel this is the beginning of something larger—
an economy born from the body,
a politics born from the Earth,
and a consciousness returning to its humanity.

FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL – DREX CITIZEN AND HUMAN CARBON CREDIT

Title:
Establishes the National System of Metabolic Income (DREX Citizen) and the Human Carbon Credit Program, aimed at ecological sovereignty, economic justice, and territorial sustainability.

Conceptual Origin: Joinville – Atlantic Forest Biome
Author: Future Federal Deputy Jackson Cionek
Theoretical Foundations: Damasian Mind (Antonio Damasio), Triple-Aspect Monism (Alfredo Pereira Jr.), Economy of Belonging (Cionek)
Constitutional Alignment: Brazilian Federal Constitution, Art. 6 (Social Rights) and Art. 225 (Environmentally Balanced Ecosystem)

I. GENERAL OBJECTIVE

To create a permanent public policy that:

1. Generates daily metabolic income (DREX Citizen) for all Brazilians, as a right of co-authorship in the nation’s economic metabolism;
   
   

2. Ecologically rewards citizens who preserve or restore Brazilian biomes (Human Carbon Credit);
   
   

3. Encourages a Zero-Waste culture, composting, and recycling as everyday actions that generate additional DREX (“DREX Plus”).
   
   

II. SCIENTIFIC AND PHILOSOPHICAL FRAMEWORK

1. The Principle of Economic Metabolism (DREX Citizen)

The economy is understood as the metabolism of the national body.
Each citizen is a cell requiring a minimum daily monetary energy to keep the organism—the nation—alive and functional.

DREX Citizen is that energy: national yield, created by the Central Bank and distributed digitally, backed by real productivity and controlled inflation.
Its issuance is regulated by a public artificial intelligence that monitors:

• regional cost of living,
  
  

• food availability,
  
  

• local inflation,
  
  

• and per capita production.
  
  

Principle: money must be born in the citizen, not in the bank.

2. The Principle of Ecological Belonging (Human Carbon Credit)

The Human Carbon Credit (HCC) is an ecological and territorial reward—not social income.
It is non-transferable, tied to the biome of residence, and symbolizes a human being’s belonging to the ecosystem that shelters and sustains them.

Only individuals living within recognized biomes (Atlantic Forest, Cerrado, Amazon, etc.) may generate and accumulate credits related to those areas.
Each CPF (tax ID) receives the title of Biome Guardian, with scoring based on:

• preservation and reforestation;
  
  

• composting and recycling practices;
  
  

• conscious energy and water use;
  
  

• and participation in Zero-Waste programs.
  
  

Principle: carbon credit belongs to local life, not to global capital.

III. LEGAL STRUCTURE (DRAFT BILL)

Art. 1 – Establishment of the DREX Citizen System

The National DREX Citizen System is hereby established, designed to distribute daily digital metabolic income to every Brazilian citizen with an active CPF and verified residence in national territory.

Art. 2 – Economic Parameters

• The DREX Citizen represents the minimum metabolic income, varying between:
  
  

• a vital minimum, equivalent to the local cost of subsistence; and
  
  

• a metabolic maximum, defined by public algorithms to prevent regional inflation.
  
  

• The amount is self-adjusting, based on real-time indicators of productivity and living costs.
  
  

Art. 3 – Source of Backing

The DREX Citizen is backed by:

1. National tax revenue;
   
   

2. Real productive GDP (non-speculative);
   
   

3. Environmental reserves and regional energy efficiency;
   
   

4. Positive balance of international trade using a composite currency (BRL + USD + CNY + EUR).
   
   

Art. 4 – Creation of the Human Carbon Credit Program

The Human Carbon Credit (HCC) is hereby instituted as an instrument of ecological reward and territorial belonging, tied to the citizen’s CPF and the biome of residence.

§1 – Territoriality

Only CPFs residing within recognized biomes may generate credits corresponding to those regions.
Example: Atlantic Forest credits can only be issued to citizens living or acting within its original or remnant areas.

§2 – Generation Indicators

HCCs are granted based on:

• proven preservation, reforestation, or composting;
  
  

• participation in municipal Zero-Waste programs;
  
  

• involvement in ecological cooperatives and community environmental education.
  
  

§3 – Limit and Inheritance

• Each CPF has a maximum accumulation limit, determined by preserved area and sustainability history.
  
  

• Credits have ecological heredity, passed to descendants as a symbolic title of biome guardianship.
  
  

Art. 5 – DREX Plus

Citizens who demonstrate sustainable practices (recycling, composting, urban gardens, water and energy saving) will receive a DREX Plus—a daily percentage bonus on their DREX Citizen income.

Example:

• Monthly registered recycling → +0.5%
  
  

• Active household composting → +1%
  
  

• Certified Zero-Waste membership → +5%
  
  

IV. TRANSPARENCY AND CIVIC CONTROL

A National Platform for Metabolic Transparency (NPMT) shall be established, allowing each citizen to:

• monitor their DREX income;
  
  

• view their carbon credits;
  
  

• track the environmental impact of their actions;
  
  

• and participate in civic auditing with federal universities and environmental agencies.
  
  

V. CULTURAL AND SYMBOLIC BASE: JOINVILLE AS A POLITICAL MATRIX

Joinville is the symbolic cradle of this proposal—a microcosm where art, biome, and consciousness meet.

• Sambaqui Museum: memory of ancestral connection between body and territory.
  
  

• Dance Festival: bodily synchrony as a metaphor for economic cooperation.
  
  

• Flower Festival: beauty as an indicator of ecological balance.
  
  

• Joinville Zero-Waste Movement: model of citizen practice transformed into circular economy.
  
  

Joinville thus becomes the civilizational prototype of the new economy of belonging, where value once again equals life.

VI. EXPECTED IMPACTS

VII. ETHICAL–PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATION

“Money must return to being the energy of life, not its price.
When it is born in the citizen and returns to the Earth, it ceases to be a tool of power and becomes the pulse of belonging.”
— Jackson Cionek, Joinville, 2025

VIII. CONCLUSION

The DREX Citizen and Human Carbon Credit form a bioeconomic political solution, rooted in the ethics of life.
A system where:

• money is born from the citizen;
  
  

• wealth is born from preservation;
  
  

• and the nation breathes together with its biomes.
  
  

Joinville—with its dances, flowers, and sambaqui memory—offers Brazil the embryo of a new civilization:
a nation where money regains its soul,
and the soul once again finds its body in the Earth.
