Credit ecoTwollar for Innovative Grassroots eco-Acts At Twitter


Updated: 3 June 2009


Award/receive ecoTwollar to a deserving innovative eco-Act to people on your Twitter network! But first ask them to tweet a credible pic-link.
Start with a 100 ecoTwollar balance.



Posted: 7 May 2009

One way to make ineffective carbon-credit work is to compliment it with grassroots micro-crediting awarded by You for acts done that You like and then let a few more people know about it so they too can join and share.


The ecoTwollar Experiment In  4 Simple Steps:

Note: all carbonTwollar tweets kindly redirect to @ecoTwollar. Thanks!

  1. Done something deceptively simple to save our resources, or pollute less?
  2. TWEET IT and follow @ecoTwollar.
    (If you want, check/add hashtags to make it easy to follow.)
     
  3. Find someone done something nice and LIKE IT?
  4. Reward it by MICRO-CREDITING ecoTwollars in your Tweet update so more catch on to the idea.

Do you think it can work? Let me know what you think, won't you.
This is a completely new initiative, just started on twitter/ecoTwollar (Update:old CarbonTwollar address now obsolete) the same day as posted.

The Next page is on opening a conversation with the nice Twollar folks about this initiative.


Note:
According to Nielsen Online recent report, Twitter has about 4-5M users, 6M unique monthly visitors and 55M visits a month. It currently retains about 40% of users. If this niche trend remains, Twitter will have about 10% of web users.

Twollar is getting popular on twitter too. But I think it needs much more recognition. (As and example, at the time of writing this, no wikipedia page existed on Twollars.)
