Climate Change – The bottom-up approach works

1 points by tiagorbf ↗ HN
Hey there. I have been working on a climate change app (changeit.app) and quite often I get feedback that is not up to the individual to change their behaviors but to the companies and policymakers. There is nothing the individual can do besides voting!

Since the beginning of 2021 that my app has had more than 2k downloads and on average each user was able to reduce 200kg from their monthly CO2 footprint! That's crazy! Especially given that, on average, one tree can offset 21kg of CO2 per year!The reduction that our users were able to accomplish in one month corresponds to what 9 trees can offset in a year!

With 500 active users, we were able to save 1200 tons of CO2 per year (57 142 trees)! So I truly believe that each one of us can and should do their part for a more sustainable planet!
