Eco-Apps

Oroeco
This app is meant to raise awareness about the impact of a single person on climate change, global warming, and other consequential occurrences. It tracks your carbon footprint and climate impact, analyzes many aspects of your life, from traveling to eating, gives actionable tips to reduce pollution and save money. The app is an accurate calculator that takes everything into account and shows how to change yourself for the better. It is available for both iOS and Android.


WeDontHaveTime Climate Change
This app allows users to learn about the actions you can take to protect the environment and helps you share those actions with other climate activists. Users can get informed about global climate change news and send climate actions to companies, organizations, and politicians. When enough people agree on a climate action, it will level up. Users allegedly become part of a huge environmentalists family and learning about the best ways to co-operate to solve the climate crisis and save the Earth. It is available for Android and iOS.


Joulebug

The Joulebug app makes sustainable living into a game. You can compete with your friends by gaining as many points as possible for everyday sustainable tasks. Every tiny thing we do during our day has the potential to have a negative impact on the Earth. Joulebug rewards you for living sustainably and reducing this carbon footprint. Whether it be using a reusable mug for your morning coffee, taking public transport, taking a shorter shower or using renewable energy sources more consistently.


Too Good To Go

Too Good to Go is an innovative platform which makes excess food from restaurants and shops available to users looking for a meal deal – at a discounted price. The “community of waste warriors” using the app is over 26 million and spreads across 14 countries in Europe. The app’s partner restaurants and vendors list their unsold food at the end of each shift (morning, lunch, dinner) often at over 50 per cent off. Rather than specifying each leftover item, the surplus food is simply packaged as a ‘Magic Bag’ – ready to be ‘saved’, rather than binned. Users can browse venues based on name, time and location, paying in-app for their meal. Contents of the mystery ‘Magic Bag’ are revealed upon collection in store, a selection of excess but perfectly good food that would have otherwise been wasted.
