In general: congratulations!

A few comments about things that could be improved, if the action had to be re-designed in the future...

• Quote:
  "If several students take part and help with accomplishing sustainable acts then the dependency on paper, electricity, water, and supplies will all be diminished"
  
  This is not true. It's not dependency that will be diminished... but usage of those resources, which is different...
• "Why" section: very well argued.
• Quote:
  "At the moment we are monitoring EcoEuros through the Sustainability Club webpage."
  
  Provide link, reference to that page.
• Quote:
  "Within the webpage there is a Tiki feature that allows administrators to add, subtract, monitor, and create EcoEuros for everyone that is a member of the Club webpage."
  
  Provide link, reference to that page.
• "Tiki", "FLOSS", ... they should be explained for the reader, which might not know what they are or what they mean.
• Quote:
  "Primarily, it helps develop a local community structure within IES: actions are rewarded with a currency which is used to fund other items or services within the community."
  and the rest of the section "Potential Benefits"
  Very well spotted and pointed out!
• Quote:
  However, the main teacher that promotes the Sustainability course and club, Xavier de Pedro, is a very helpful and driven person that will greatly oversee and assist in developing these actions.
  
  Thanks for the compliments. I do my best with this initiative partially linked with the course that I'm requested to teach at IES Abroad Barcelona

  This information will also be posted on the official sustainability club Tiki webpage. This way, the information will not be centralized,...
  
  Well, its not that the information will not be centralized: the information will be centralized in a single website, but access to that that information will be shared among the group of people who need to have access to that information, for reading it, or managing the EcoEuro system.
• Quote:
  when they want to exchange their EcoEuros for other prizes at the rate of one EcoEuro to one Euro.
  
  Well, that was the initial goal, in case the Club had enough euros for that exchange rate. But it's unlikely to happen. Therefore, that exchange rate will probably have to be calculated each year, based on the total amount of EcoEuros gained by students "from scratch" (from our own banking system, without any reserve, in fact), divided by the total amount of Euros that the Club has been able to allocate for that semester. This point will have to be discussed further and agreed in some of the Sustainability Club (SC) meetings.
• Quote:
  The Director of IES Abroad, César Alegre, said that he would fund the field trips and that there is no cap on the amount of people he will pay for as long as they are able to exchange him EcoEuros in order to pay for their trip fare. Talks are still being conducted with IES faculty and staff to see if it is possible to use EcoEuros towards regular IES field trips.
  
  This is great news! Congratulations for talking to the Director or IES Abroad (Barcelona), so that they are exploring seriously these posibilities.

  No other links or references were used in the creation of this page.
  
  A pity, you could have used some , as stated above. At least the reference of the Sustainability Club website! Or to the documentation of the currency system we started to implement in that website (based on free software/FLOSS, and with open documentation with Creative Commons License, by the way).
  
  For the record, the best software in use worldwide so far for Community Currencies (and network of communities using it, and allowing intertrading among them, in some cases) is: CES - Community Exchange System ( http://www.ces.org.za/ ) . However, this is closed source software, coded in proprietary programing languages (asp), and also based on a centralized design, which is potentially less resilient to eventual disturbances (like wikileaks attacks and closing the ability to send them money to support them - See news in December 2010).
  
  A better solution will be either a FLOSS one (such as CCLite - http://sourceforge.net/projects/cclite/ ), or even better, a FLOSS one with a Peer to Peer (P2P) - decentralized - design, such as Bitcoin ( http://bitcoin.org ), as a proof of concept of such a system.
  
  I imagine lots of positive feedback (reinforcing) loops in this action and the other linked actions reported, and even more actions/effects.
• Presentation: well done. For next time, even better if you provide some "screenshot" of the screen where EcoEuros can be managed (for the treasurer, or others) even better. You could have even re-used some of the images at the documentation for the Tiki User Credit system: http://doc.tiki.org/Tiki+User+Credit , since they are "copylefted".
