| Roles | Description |
|---|---|
| Citizens (MVP) | Anyone who wants to contribute to the ecosystem/environment by collecting garbage and receiving rewards. |
| Checkpoints (MVP) | Entities that make the focal point of the ecosystem, contributing to its functioning - entrepreneurs, establishments, street points and others. This role will be rewarded too. |
| Verifiers* (MMP) | Confirm if there will be a role to help the ecosystem - logistics and other activities. |
| Endpoints (MMP) | The final destination of the collected garbage - and the beginning - enterprises that are interested in the use of the plastic, reclycling industries, and others. |
| Sponsors (MMP) | People and Businesses that are interested in supporting the project by investing some Stake! |
- How to produce the initial material, like bags, banners and other things? Do we need an ICO?
- How to promote the Ecosystem?
- How to convince people and entrepreneurs to register as Checkpoints or/and Endpoints?
- How to convince establishments to receive the token as a payment or discount (Endpoints)? What do they receive as a benefit?
- How is gonna work the logistics operation, such as material distribution, bags collecting on checkpoints, distribution to other enterprises?
- Who will pay the GAS of the Ethereum transactions? Like minting Tokens? Check https://medium.com/portis/sponsor-your-users-gas-fees-with-portis-and-tabookey-s-gas-stations-network-7fd7c8406869
- Does somebody needs to have control of the token, such as burn when needed, or pause if somebody tries to crack the system?

Our idea is to propose a complete ecosystem, where Citizens of any social class can play important roles in engaging against excessive plastic pollution in the environment, using the Ethereum blockchain as a support. A complete cycle will be created, where citizens will be able to collect and take the garbage to authorized points (Checkpoints) - the plastic bags will be sent to recycling companies, which will generate new bags and other possible destinations. Best of all, everyone will be rewarded with ERC20 Tokens that can be used in partner establishments. After all, people are driven by rewards.
Reduce Plastic Pollution on Earth close to ZERO, through Citizen's engagement, powered by a decentralized blockchain ecosystem and an easy use DApp.
That will be the hardest part. We have in mind some potential and successful Partners that could engage this project, such as Bounty for Basura, Plastic Bank and 4Ocean. If they enjoy the proposed idea, it can be a great kickoff. Plastic recycling industries can also become partners, as the project increases the inputs for their production.
- The principal risk is the rejection of the enterprises on being Checkpoints or Endpoints.
- The impact can only be measured after the society engagement. But we hope we can use the incentivized mechanism to provide a better society, based on good deeds exchanged with services, crypto, goods, whatever the prizes. We can develop a Analytic Smart Contract to measure some KPI's, such as: Number of Engaged Citizens, Checkpoints and Endpoints (by Location); Quantity of plastic collected/used by Citizen, Checkpoint and Endpoint; Total trash collected and recycled by region; and a lot of possible Key-Performance-Indicators. We can also use TheGraph solution!
Architecture:
- Token Implementation - Creation and publication of a pure ERC20 Token on Testnet;
- dApp Implementation (MVP) - Development of DApp screens using React, or Angular, or Javascript. - PENDING
- Contracts Implementation (MVP) - Development of the main SmartContract using Solidity and support tools (MetaMask, Truffle/Ganache and more).
- dApp and Contracts improvements
