Plastic pollution is a game changer for the planet Earth. Human beings depend on plastic for day to day living, but it comes as a BIG cost on the environment and causes an imbalance on the ecosystem. A single plastic bottle can take a minimum of 1000 years to decompose, and the decomposition leaks harmful chemicals into the soil. Not all plastic makes to landfill; some plastics are littered and escape into the waterways, killing animals in the process. We can not continue to landfill plastic at an alarming rate because we will create a bleak future for the next generation. Remember the movie Wall-E. We as a human race portrayed as the destructor of the planet Earth. That’s food for thoughts. Each year, Australia creates nearly a billion plastic bottles, but we only recycle about 35% of the PET bottles which means almost 380 million plastic bottles end up as waste each year. I proposed that “100B for token” project where ten bottles in exchange for a token. We will affiliate with partners to open collection centres around Australia where participants can go and drop off their bottles. The token will be an integral part of our customise designed DApp.
How do we pay the participants you might ask?
We will be creating a “League of Champions” where all the participants will be using our DApp to participate in an event organised and hosted by TEAM 3CO Foundation. Initially, the 3CO token in circulation used as a “HODL” payment for all bottles collected. Incentives will be base on weekly, monthly and yearly calendars.
Where’s the source of funding comes from you might ask?
We will get an endorsement from the government sectors, the private sectors, the benefactors and donations from the general public. Profits generated will be re-invested back into the project, hence create growth and sustainability on our ecosystem. The actual value of each PET bottle will depend on the government’s legislation. A trust account will secure all monetary gains and controlled by a law firm.
Why should I partake in collecting the bottles?
It is not why should I, but instead, I must act. Globally we are destroying the planet, and some acts are too late to be reversible.
