Recent years have seen a rise in ethical consumption, which includes not only reduced expenditures but also considerations regarding the environment and future benefits to humanity. This study investigates a method for encouraging ethical consumption via the use of a dongle interface with a smartphone. We have developed an application that presents information to smartphone users to motivate ethical consumption via a dongle interface and records information on ethical activity to a blockchain. This paper also presents considerations with respect to ethical consumption activity resulting from use by customers in an actual commercial establishment, with presentation of intended future developments.
