EXAMPLE 4: JUST OTHERS CONSERVE
If you keep ALL of your tokens in your private account, while
others contribute ALL of their
tokens to group conservation account, you’ll earn more than
others:
-
Private account
You have 120 tokens left $12.00.
-
Group conservation account
The group has 2,520 tokens ($252.00).
The group meets the conservation goal, so a bonus is paid by doubling the 2,520 tokens
(to 5,040 tokens) and dividing them equally among all players. Every player’s bonus is 229
tokens
($22.90).
-
Your total earnings: $12.00 (private account) +
$22.90 (group conservation bonus)
= $34.90
-
Pollution reduction
: The dollar value of the energy
tokens in the conservation account ($252.00) is donated to
Carbonfund.org, reducing approximately 55,440 pounds of air
pollution
