Abstract: An electronic trading system for simulating the trading of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emission reductions and methods of use are provided. An electronic trading application may allow a user to participate in an electronic trading simulation. An electronic trading application may allow a simulation administrator to modify parameters in connection with the electronic trading simulation in real-time. For example, the simulation administrator may be allowed to modify a real-time timeline for the electronic trading simulation, create and release a news announcement, or perform any other suitable modification in connection with the electronic trading simulation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for trading carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions reductions are provided. Users may construct bids, trade CO2e emissions reductions, and formulate CO2e emissions reduction plans. The electronic trading system may provide the user with the ability to develop and implement a customised CO2e emission reductions strategy. The electronic-trading system may provide the user with the ability to electronically build a portfolio of CO2e emission reductions. Transactions and emissions reductions may be documented so that users may demonstrate CO2e emissions reductions to current and future regulatory agencies.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved system and method for making an online donation to a nonprofit, charitable, religious or other organization in the name of a third party honoree and sending a customized card. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a method for making an online donation in the name of a third party honoree and sending a customized card, comprises the steps of selecting, on a website, a link to an online donation processing service, making a donation in the name of a third party honoree, creating the customized card, printing the card, and sending the card to the third party honoree or to a designated recipient. The method further comprises the step of creating a tribute page for the honoree. The method further comprises the step of emailing the tribute page to friends, family or others and soliciting donations from them. The method further comprises the step of recognizing donors in a virtual plaque.
