Abstract: This project proposes a digital system that promotes environmental responsibility by verifying real-world eco-friendly actions and rewarding them with meaningful benefits. The system uses multiple verification methods such as location data, time-stamped photos, QR code scans, and official records to ensure that reported activities actually occur. It tracks actions including tree plantation, waste disposal, use of public transport, renewable energy usage, and eco-friendly purchases. To prevent misuse, the platform applies layered verification such as AI-based image checks, location locking, and authority validation. Unlike existing systems that offer only virtual rewards, this solution enables verified actions to be converted into real government benefits, encouraging sustainable behavior in a practical and reliable way.
