ECO-COIN

ECO-COIN can be a web and mobile platform developed explicitly to reward citizens who adopt environmentally friendly and proven green habits. These habits consist of critical tasks such as separating waste correctly, recycling plastic waste, using public transport systems, planting community trees, or switching to renewable energy. Every single activity earns participants "Green Points," which is currency that they can exchange for attractive discounts across a range of local businesses, such as unique cafés, favorite stores, and many brands that call themselves eco-friendly would also probably like to collaborate.

Cities in India face a growing accumulation of non-biodegradable waste, deteriorating air quality, and low citizen engagement with sustainability initiatives. Most awareness campaigns have a temporary impact because individuals rarely perceive a personal benefit from adopting green behaviors.
Existing solutions, such as stand-alone recycling stalls and clean-air promises, currently don't contain any aspect of gamification or simplification that reward loops can offer effectively. To counteract this lack, Green Points effectively addresses this major void by including real-time feedback, participative social leaderboards, and real-world rewards, such that sustainability is made into a fun activity.
 
Who benefits:
Citizens also stand to benefit from an opportunity to win prizes and bragging rights as they contribute positively to their environments, being better for others.
Companies: win customers and build ESG credentials.
Local governments/NGOs are provided with credible data to track waste diversion and air quality improvements.
 
Why it's personal to me: having grown up across Indian cities, I've seen firsthand how pollution and waste affect daily living and health. A platform that turns small everyday choices into real action has the power to galvanize millions.
 
Technical details:
AI image verifications are employed to effectively curb fraud incidents.
By mixing principles of behavioral science with state-of-the-art technology and community reward principles, Green Points will be able to transform sustainability into a norm of everyday living.

  • In a marine institute experiment, a dolphin was trained to exchange trash or paper for fish rewards. The dolphin figured out that tearing one large piece of paper into many small pieces let her turn them in separately and get more fish.

    How would ai be used to prevent cases of fraud with people instead of dolphins in this case? Kind of hard to figure out if something was naturally ripped apart or manually.
    • through behavioral pattern,track each user’s submission patterns: location, timing, volume, and item type.
      If someone suddenly submits many small fragments in a short window, the system can flag them for review or limit points.
  • This is a brilliant application of behavioral science to a critical civic problem. Its core strength lies in translating abstract environmental goals into tangible, personal rewards, effectively bridging the gap between good intentions and daily actions. The creation of a multi-sided ecosystem that benefits citizens, businesses, and governments is particularly well-conceived.
  • Really impactful concept! Linking green actions with real rewards is a great motivator. You could also think about collaborations with eco-friendly brands to make it even more exciting.
  • Love the idea! Turning sustainable habits into rewards is a smart way to motivate real change. Could strengthen it by showing measurable environmental impact from user activities.
  • Great concept! 🌍 ECO-COIN makes eco-friendly actions fun by tying them to real rewards, which can really boost participation. The AI verification adds trust and credibility. How will you ensure users stay engaged long-term—maybe through tiered rewards or seasonal challenges?
    • Give users titles like Seedling → Sprout → Tree Guardian → Forest Hero. Unlock new perks as they climb.
