| Q1: | How do you determine the number of points for each action? |
|
The points are based on a reasonable estimate that the action might have
in reducing environmental impact. However most actions by their nature can be carried out to varying degrees.
For example two people committing to recycle all paper goods will record this as the same action in a given week, even
though one may recycle twice the amount of paper than the other. The idea is that the figures will even out as more people
take more action over a longer period of time. The main point is to give a general measurement as to how much is being individually
and cumulatively acheived.

| Q2: | Why can't more accurate measurements be recorded? |
| Our next major release will have microchip technology implanted in
each of our users that measures to the nearest molecule how much he or she is reducing his or her carbon dioxide
emmissions. That release will depend on the technology being made available at an affordable rate. In the meantime
we hope that quick and interesting data might just motivate us to
get on with the important job of preserving our planet.

| Q3: | What if people cheat and record actions they haven't actually done? |
|
We hope they have a deep sense of satisfaction. If we ever hand out environmental medals then they'll get one.
