GreenPoints: A Gamified Platform to Democratize Carbon Credits for Small-Scale Plant Owners
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Climate change mitigation requires participation beyond industrial-scale interventions. Traditional carbon credit systems emphasize large projects, excluding small contributors like farmers, rooftop gardeners, and plant enthusiasts. This paper proposes GreenPoints, a gamified platform enabling individuals to register plants, estimate their CO₂ absorption, and earn digital points. Agencies can aggregate these points for CSR reporting, while the model can evolve toward certified carbon credits for industries. The platform’s goal is to increase awareness, incentivize plantation, and build a community-driven sustainability ecosystem.
