## 💸 Economic Model: How Cholita Generates Passive Income
Cholita isn't just a movement — it's an engine for ecological and financial transformation. Here's how users (Cholitas) generate **real passive income** through planting and care:
| Activity | Reward Type | Estimated Monthly Income (USD) |
|-----------------------------|---------------------|-------------------------------|
| 🌱 Planting native trees | Carbon credits sale | $10–$30 |
| 🍅 Selling produce/seeds | Local e-commerce | $20–$50 |
| 🧠 Completing eco-courses | Micro-certifications | $5–$15 (bonuses + unlocks) |
| 💚 Hosting workshops | Community payments | $15–$60 |
| 🧺 Compost & fertilizer sales| Local neighbors | $10–$40 |
**Total Potential Monthly Income:** 💰 **$60–$195+**
> ⚠️ Income may vary by country, climate, and plant type. Cholita aims to increase value through verified carbon credits and community micro-economies.
