About The Paper Plate Project®

The Paper Plate Project®, a flagship initiative of ONEMOVEMENT® and the World Prosperity League™ (WPL™), WPL.life is a bold, innovative, and community-driven socio-economic experiment designed to empower you, small businesses, nonprofits, and local communities across America and the Free World.

Dubbed the “Socio-Economic Experiment of the Century™,” it tackles economic challenges like declining small business revenue, consumer hesitancy, and community disconnection by creating a simple yet powerful system to connect businesses with new customers in a cost-effective and engaging new way.

With its grassroots approach and emphasis on unity, The Paper Plate Project® is a cornerstone of ONEMOVEMENT®’s mission to foster prosperity and resilience in cities competing in the WPL™.

At its core, The Paper Plate Project® is about building stronger local economies through Community Unity and Support for One Another™.

Participating businesses and nonprofits display a personalized ONEMOVEMENT® Paper Plate™  (a symbolic and practical tool accessible virtually anywhere in the world) at their physical or virtual storefronts. This plate signals their involvement in the project and invites customers to engage with them through special incentives, such as discounts, promotions, or unique surprises.

This initiative is completely free for both businesses and consumers; it’s an olive branch, removing financial barriers and making it accessible to all.

By encouraging consumers to try new businesses, The Paper Plate Project® drives foot traffic, boosts revenue, and fosters a sense of community pride and connection.

The project addresses real-world problems like economic stagnation, the decline of small businesses (especially post-pandemic), and the lack of familiarity between consumers and unfamiliar local establishments.

By leveraging the competitive framework of WPL™, cities participating in The Paper Plate Project® earn points for their economic vitality, as the initiative directly contributes to job creation, local commerce, and social cohesion.

It’s a Win-Win: businesses gain new customers, consumers discover hidden gems, and communities thrive as economic activity surges.

How The Paper Plate Project® Works

1. Business Enrollment: Small businesses and nonprofits sign up for free on ONEMOVEMENT.com. They create or download and print a personalized ONEMOVEMENT® Paper Plate™, which can be displayed physically (e.g., in a store window) or digitally (e.g., on a website, social media, or smartphone).
2. Incentive Creation: ONEMOVEMENT® businesses offer ONEMOVEMENT® member incentives, such as discounts, free items, or exceptional experiences (e.g., a surprise dessert at a restaurant). The incentive is designed to attract new customers while being sustainable for the business.
3. Consumer Engagement: Customers, known as “New World Heroes™ and or Winnerpreneur®, are encouraged to visit unfamiliar participating businesses, identified by the Paper Plate™ or ONEMOVEMENT.com, and make a first-time purchase. There, they can access incentives without any additional cost or business membership, making it easy to support local economies.
4. Community Impact: As businesses gain new customers, they generate revenue, hire more staff, and contribute to local prosperity. Cities track this economic activity to earn points in WPL™, showcasing their commitment to growth.
5. Global Scalability: The Paper Plate Project® is designed to scale across cities in America and the Free World, with each city customizing the initiative to fit its unique economic and cultural context.
