About us
For 3 years many supported the Ecomonkey Green Points Programme, for which we are grateful. However not enough of you thought it was that cute. So after some considerable deliberation we have closed the Green Points Programme.
We are continuing with a shopping programme, only now the points collected by users will be converted at intervals to Kiva Loans. We'll relend the Kiva Loans for as long as we can, so this is a revolving investment, though not self-perpetuating because we get zero interest.
Anyway to access your ecomonkey account click the My Account link in the right hand menu under My Stuff.
We'll also continue product, brand and retailer ratings on which the points allocation and eventual loan conversion will be based.
Really exciting bits about who is behind Ecomonkey, including information for retailers is in Company Stuff, along with other scintillating facts, bits and pieces, like privacy policies.
Regards
Philip aka Ecomonkey
Important Notice
NB Sadly we are shortly closing down the Ecomonkey Shopping Channel. Alas too few thought this was as good an idea as we did at the outset. In no particular order: Spammers, lack of consumer goodwill, lack of +ve press, greedy/incompetent consultants and advisers (they ate the marketing budget), lack of a patient sponsor, no big fat marketing budget have all conspired to make the project fall ell short of expectations.
The upside is that we built a robust system with small capital invested which withstood the challenges technically, which is no small achievement. All suppliers have been and continue to be paid (except the ones that failed or could not deliver.)
IMPORTANTLY Kiva and several hundred small businesses in the developing world have benefited to the tune of around $3000 invested or reinvested. This is a revolving fund and continues to get topped up, and gets reinvested at the rate of $100 every few months. That alone makes us happy.
