Problem
Consumers are increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of their purchases, but lack convenient ways to quantify and offset their carbon footprint. Traditional loyalty programs often fail to connect purchasing decisions with tangible environmental benefits, leaving consumers feeling disconnected from sustainability initiatives.
Solution
GreenCampusPoints provides a platform that rewards students for making purchases at participating merchants, with each point representing a verified reduction in CO2 emissions. By snapping a photo of their receipt and submitting it, users earn points that can be redeemed for discounts or donated to environmental charities. The platform enables merchants to engage customers in a meaningful way, promoting environmentally conscious choices while driving business.

The primary target audience is university students and faculty who are environmentally conscious and seek convenient ways to reduce their carbon footprint through everyday purchases.
