Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010085616A2] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a system and method for administering an incentive-based program to encourage environmentally-conscious behavior. In one embodiment, a method for administering an incentive-based program to encourage environmentally-conscious behavior comprises providing a network- accessible database, hosted by an administrator, having a plurality of sets of records, each set of records corresponding to a user, monitoring an environmentally-conscious behavioral activity of a first user, and recording a record of the behavioral activity in the database, using a computer-based mathematical calculation to translate the record of the behavioral activity to a value, and storing the value within a record of a set of records corresponding to the first user, and allowing the first user to access the database, using a computing device to communicate through a data portal to the database via a network, to redeem the value for a credit at a third party retailer.
