Proof of Environment is a program from EverGreenCoin to: a) motivate individuals to do environmentally responsible tasks, and b) raise awareness of EverGreenCoin while doing so.
Proof of Environment is not a technical process: it is a human process that is positive for the environment. Everyone is welcome to participate, and there is no technical knowledge or special equipment required. All you need is a picture or video of an environmentally friendly task being completed (i.e. planting, trash clean-up, recycling, anything demonstrating responsible care for our planet) and an EverGreenCoin address for us to send your reward to at the end of that month. You also need to agree to the agreement so we have permission to use the image or video you submit for educational purposes.
A “work share” is any event, be it collecting trash on a stroll through the park, installing some new solar equipment, recycling, planting trees, or even potting a house plant! Click here to vote on this months works https://evergreencoin.org/groups/proof-of-environment/forum/topic/february-
You can submit as many work shares as you wish, but each must be a different event. For example: planting 500 trees at an event is not 500 work shares, it is a single one. However; you will be rewarded for that additional work and effort in the 3rd layer of that month’s PoE distribution by receiving a larger share of the month’s 3rd layer of the reward pool.
Reward Structure
Every month 1,000 EGC are reserved as a reward pool for all accepted Proof of Environment entries to be paid from. EGC donations, via dynamic staking for charity and elsewhere, will also be collected to increase the reward pool during the month.
At the end of every month the reward pool is distributed to all accepted shares for that month. The reward pool is divided into three parts (aka “reward layers”), 10% / 10% / 80% and then tallied for every accepted work share as follows:
Layer 1: The first 10% of the reward pool is evenly divided between all accepted work shares.
Layer 2: The second 10% of the reward pool is evenly divided between all accepted work shares that display the EverGreenCoin name or logo
Layer 3: The remaining 80% of the reward pool is divided proportionately to the amount of effort, time, and quality of the submitted work share determined by the public at evergreencoin.org
