Cottonnect: um sistema para doação de produtos com gratificação via moeda virtual

Abstract

Currently, discussions on environmental issues are becoming increasingly frequent, reflecting the impacts originated from the social practices exercised. Given the growing evidence of the impact caused to the environment, we highlight the current pattern of consumption, often practiced unconsciously, which ends up contributing to a greater accumulation of garbage and misuse of the raw material. In this context, this project consists of the development of a web application that aims to stimulate donations of products with bonuses quantified by a virtual currency, which symbolizes gratitude when receiving a donation. Thus, it is intended to stimulate in individuals from different communities a broader relationship of exchange of products, fostering the concept of conscious consumption to contribute to avoid the gradual degradation of the environment.
