Ecological accounting
This can be a place to record discussion towards enhancing VF to include the semantics needed to represent resource flows to and from the "environment" or "ecology". This is important for climate accounting, as well as circular economy. In fact, we would hope that all accounting includes "externalities" as we cope with climate chaos, soil and biodiversity loss, etc.
There is a small group working on this from the REA community perspective, mostly through email and meetings. I'll copy relevant discussions here. Or if the discussions become of more long term interest, I'll start an issue in the "forum" repo.
There is also at least one project that will need this in the near future, probably before the REA discussions are "finalized". So this issue will support our immediate need to enhance the VF model to support these projects (which I don't think is very much), while trying to not take short-cuts that might hinder a long term perspective.
