“Home sweet home”. One of the most used and most felt quotes. And it is true. There is no sweeter place than home. But we are making it bitter day after day. Yes, you are right. I’m talking about the environment. Nature. Our mutual home. The one thing that keeps creating all the necessary conditions we need to live. It looks exactly like what a good, caring parent would do for their children. I guess that’s why we call it “Mother Earth”. But we, human beings, habitants of earth, are behaving like irresponsible children, living without a care in the world, only wanting to play games all day long for our personal satisfaction. Given that children love playing around, we at eGreen thought that gamifying the cleaning of the environment would be a good way to connect people all around the world in this special mission. In order to achieve this, we decided to create an application. The idea behind it is to increase awareness, motivation and desire to take action in all of us by making everything more enjoyable. Our application is constructed with several features, each of them designed to do good to the planet and also to the user. Below you can understand the concept of the application in images and explanation.

Our vision is not only to create an application, but a global community. Therefore everyone will have their own profile with their personal information and achievements. They will have their own wallet where they will store points gathered and choose how to spend them. To make it easier for the user to choose where to spend their points, we will be adding a map that will display all the nearest service places and means of transport where you can get a discount. There will be events created from the administrators, but there will be the possibility to create events even from the users, like cleaning groups, fund raising events, conferences. There will be another option which is the scanner. The scanner will have a few options like scanning the products you use to get information about the materials they use and how eco-friendly they are. It will also be used to scan a code to check in during the events.

Maybe only the idea of making a good deed is not enough to keep this movement going, but one thing is sure, everyone likes the idea of getting rewarded. That’s why we decided to add a rewarding system to our application. Points will be earned from participation in events or from constant use of the services. Points will be transformed into discounts when using or buying eco-friendly services or products.
Of course this is just a prototype, but it’s a small step into strengthening our sense of duty towards the planet and also to find a way of turning the cleaning of the environment into an enjoyable habit.
We would want to encourage everyone to be a good community member and give us a feedback about this idea and on how to improve it even more in the future. Please do not hesitate and contact us at eGreen.founders@gmail.com
