What is the problem you found?

Students don’t usually care about sustainability both in school and in their daily lives. With the current progression of the Earth’s carbon production, we will soon enter a new period.

What is your opportunity?

We have an opportunity to educate children about the benefits of composting and being sustainable rather than all food scraps getting sent to landfill. This will be promoted by rewarding students with a digital currency which can be used to purchase from the canteen.

Who is your audience?

Our main customer is the new CoE campus, but this system can be used in any schools that want to be more sustainable and teach their students to do so.

What Is Your Solution?

We've created a reward-based system to encourage students to continue being sustainable. We can take the carbon emissions and turn them into a stable coin for schools and regular people to use this will reduce carbon emissions and will lower schools' carbon footprints.

Support Required

Funding

We require funding support as our idea is expensive and won't be possible with the help of donations.
