App that rewards citizens with points for ecological lifestyle.

Our idea is a unique system that rewards people for “green” lifestyle. Our goal is that this App creates a new trend in our city and everyone becomes “addicted” to protecting the environment!

The user creates a personal profile and tracks his/her activity. By performing specific ecological deeds the user earns points. He/She can “trade” these points and enjoy some benefits. The ecological behavior consists of: • Walking or use of public transport, bicycle • Recycling of batteries, cooking oil, electrical appliances • Volunteering in ecological activities The rewards are: • Free public transport tickets • Free public bicycles/scooters rides • Discount in bio-product shops • Free tickets for cultural events. The best part is that everyone can invite his/her friends to join the app! He/She can then track their activity and compete with them. There will be also motivation for the user to stay active. There will be a daily point checkpoint that needs to be met. If someone reaches that goal every day, a progress streak will be formed. After a few days constant streak an extra reward will be achieved. These “game-like” features are tested successfully on other platforms and are proved to hold the user’s interest.

We are four mechanical engineering students who worked together for the first time during the climathon, Thanos, Panagiota, Sotiris and Thodoris. We made a good company and had a really pleasant time that weekend, and however exhausting the brainstorming may have been, we will never forget this amazing experience.
