South Dublin County Council Social Credit System Public Consultation
South Dublin County Council invites you to discuss the concept of a Social Credit System for the County
What is the Social Credit System?
The Social Credit System will encourage, assist and reward those that take action to improve their environment.
How will it work?
- “Social Credits” will be awarded for sustainable actions carried out.
- Credits will be accumulated and then exchanged for a variety of rewards.
- Actions (eg keeping an area graffiti free, siting a bring bank) and points required for a variety of rewards (eg use of a sound studio, a free WEEE collection for your area), will be listed in a Social Credit Catalogue.
Who is it aimed at?
Many schools, community groups and businesses continuously strive to improve their environment by cleaning up, planting and maintaining places all around the County. The new Social Credit System will acknowledge and reward such groups and motivate others to get involved and take ownership of the County.
