Ecoapps

"Ecosia" is a web search engine (just like Google) that lends a helping hand to our environment. It donates 80% of its surplus income to non-profit organizations that focus on reforestation and conservation. Amazing, right? Imagine planting a tree for every 45 searches you perform. Yes, a real tree!

Most importantly, it is a trusted website. They publish their monthly financial reports and tree planting receipts. This way you can hold them accountable while we go on our journey to a reforested world.

Next up, a productivity application called "Forest". As students living in 2018, getting your work done instead of scrolling through your social media takes a lot of willpower. The "Forest" app will get your studying session under control. Each focus session gives you coins. When you earn 2,500 coins, they will also plant a REAL tree for you.

- Whenever you want to focus on your work, plant a tree. - In the next 30 mins, the tree will grow while you are working. - The tree will be killed if you leave the app. - The harder you work (longer time), the lusher your forest is.

Last but not least, "Refresh & Gogreen" app. Many people are not sure about how to start living a sustainable lifestyle. With this app, you will be guided on how to green your life. In a week, you will be given tasks, such as "Only wash when you have full load (washing machine)." It will also explain briefly "how" and "why" it affects the environment. Your progress will be tracked on your personal "tree" in the app. For the green tasks that you completed, the leaves on the tree will turn green.
