  • Publication number: 20250078109
    Abstract: A method that mobilizes mass collective action; utilizes current technology; leverages on digital and print media marketing channels; optimizes the utility of Rewards Programs; uses a restricted investment mandate; and uses the attractive feature that the method in itself multiplies the value initially obtained through participation in Rewards Programs, towards the achievement of the goals of a Climate Agreement or a general improvement of the environment. The greatest impediment to the achievement of the abovementioned goals is the securing of the necessary capital that will catalyze the delivery of the objectives. The method enables the funding that is necessary to be secured, painlessly and urgently. The democratization of the financial responsibility towards the achievement of an improvement to the environment using the disclosed mechanism also results in an outcome that financial returns are also a shared benefit.
