Digital platform with an incentive system

EcoIncome wrote: Today’s average consumption based ghg emissions per person in the western world are way too high. But there are no really good icentives to reduce them. Our digital platform with an eco fee and share mechanism enables a competition for the lowest eco footprints: 1) the eco footprints of the users are measured mainly automatically on the basis of financial spending information, 2) the users monthly virtually pay for their eco footprints, 3) 100% of entire revenue are redistributed equally within the community ("ecoincome"). 4) finally, the users' surplus and deficit amounts are subject to real financial transaction. Positive effect: constant motivation for everyone to reduce their eco footprints... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad
