#dollarTree
######DollarTree aims to make contribution to the environment more fun by connecting the realms of social media and e-commerce. Earn points by planting trees in severly deforested regions and then redeem those points by buying subsidized products from your favourite brand.
####Inspiration Everyone wants to contribute to the environment, but it is hard to think of a way where we can actually make a difference. Furthermore, it is seemingly harder for bigger companies to contribute to forest reservatory projects as a part of their corporate social responsibility. What if there was a way for individuals to bridge that gap, that is carrying out the work that huge businesses want by planting trees and getting subsidized products in return.
####How it works You can sign up as an individual or an organization. The intuitive UI makes it really easy to start making contributions. Once plant some trees, your efforts show up on the interactive maps which is shared with all your facebook friends. Moreover, you earn points for every tree planted which can be redeemed by buying products for companies that are promoting a cleaner and greener environment.
