Save the oceans by saving for you

We'd like the $5,000 grant to fund a savings challenge on our financial wellness platform. The $5,000 would be the carrot for our users to save for themselves.

Save the oceans by saving for you

About this idea

Our users will have 3 weeks to record the number of times they chose to drink tap water over using a disposable container. Each time the record a time they skipped a disposable drink, they will be asked to record how much money they saved by choosing tap over a soda or single use water. This savings immediately moves from their spending account into the savings account of their choice. Their savings is tracked within the app and if they are successful in the challenge of skipping a number of disposable drinks over a 3 week period, we will donate to plastic bank. This benefits our users and the world in numerous ways: 1) they are starting a savings habit 2) they are reducing their consumption of single use containers 3) Plastic bank pays residents of coastal areas to remove plastics from waterways.
