Abstract
A system and method for promoting environmental behavior by device users are provided. The method includes allocating 'green' points to each of a plurality of users. A job request, such as a print job request, is received from one of the users. A cost in points is computed for executing the job request, based on a formula which is designed to promote environmental behavior by the user. The user's allocated points are reduced by the computed cost when the job is performed.
