RANDOM ACTS OF GREEN

The new mobile app Random Acts of Green is proving that small daily choices can add up to a big collective impact, showing people how they can make a difference for climate change. With the app, individuals can see how they are achieving positive change by logging over 40 green acts and adding up points. By tracking and measuring their green behaviours, people can see how their actions translate to reduced greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs).
