Every Tuesday and Thursday I carpool to school with a friend, and instead of paying gas money to each other we have decided to trade favors. So saw she drives one day, that day I'll buy her a cup of coffee, or if I drive she'll get me some coffee.

For this learning assignment I decided to just think of a clever way to get incentives for doing work and an alternative currency.

Any of his ideas that he posts that I feasibly can get involved with I will so I can do more than just spreading the word.
