At greenr, and we believe that collective individual efforts are the key to helping our planet.
Every action counts when it comes to reducing CO2 emissions. So greenr gives you a platform through which to visualise, share and learn about those actions.

Greenr calculates your CO2 savings by comparing the emissions caused by your actions against alternative actions you were considering and tracks them over time.

You can log your actions in three different ways:

You can open the web app and log in the action.

You can tell Alexa what you’ve chosen to do today and she will log it in for you.

Or you can fill in lifestyle details on your profile and set up recurrent logging of actions. You can also get Greenr to do the hard work and prompt you about the choices you’ve made today.

You can monitor your progress on the app at any time on an easy-to-digest user interface, and also see how all Greenr users as a whole are doing.

In the future we have planned features that would directly improve greenr’s usability and allow it to act as a social platform.

At greenr we believe the power of the people outweighs the power of individuals, through social networking integration greenr would allow you to connect with friends and form social groups.

These groups would allow you to track how you and your friends have found ways to contribute toward reducing C02 emissions, sharing progress and viewing the improvements of the group collectively.

These improvements are categorised, so far we have transport and food but plan to expand in many other areas such as plastics, energy production, fashion and many more.

The Tech Stack? On our initial web version, a skeleton of which has been deployed at www.greenr.club is a simple React.js application deployed on the open-source Heroku platform. User information is stored in a PostgreSQL database and has an API written on a flask-python server. Both the React.js application and Amazon Alex interface with this API.
