An quick example of how the scheme might work, it would at like a personal profile where people can check their progress and keep track of how well they are doing or maybe how well they could be doing.

The idea for this was to make a website were you can keep an account of how much recycling you have been doing, the more recycling you do the more points you receive. It works the same way as the tesco rewards points scheme works, where the more you do the more points you receive when you get enough points you can redeem them for green products such as jute bags, flower boxes and other items that are both recycled and kind to the environment, so carrying on the cycle of staying green and environmentally friendly.

Again I really liked this idea but it would involve a lot of hard coding work, and it would not have made me happy come the degree show. At the degree show I wanted to have a project that had a tangible quality to it and allowed people to play with it and get a really good interaction with it, and by the end of the project I personal know I would be happier having an object that I can show off at the degree show rather than just a screen with the website on it.
