Climate Drops app tracks and rewards environmentally friendly actions of its users to protect the environment and climate of our planet. Green actions of the app's users are tracked and converted into electronic points with their further exchange for discounts provided by app's partners.
Each point, which is called a "Climate Drop", corresponds to 1 kg of CO2, not emitted into the atmosphere in the result of the eco-friendly activities of the app's users. The app's users are called "Sources" of greenhouse gases emission reductions and could generate 500 and more Climate Drops during a year.
App's partners are environmentally friendly businesses in retail, IT, HoReCa, etc., which receive Climate Drops from Sources in exchange for discounts, bonuses, and other loyalty tools. Such businesses are called Lakes in our app.
In the future, the Lakes may obtain the possibility to sell the part of the collected Drops exceeding their own carbon footprint to carbon funds, other companies or individuals investing in climate change mitigation on the national and global level. Such funds are called Seas in our app.
As for now, Climate Drops are issued for such activities as bike riding, waste recycling and composting, tree planting, energy saving due to the execution of energy efficiency measures in buildings, and green electricity generation.
Calculation of greenhouse gases emission reductions is performed based on the internationally recognized methodological approaches and years of our company's experience in carbon accounting.
Climate Drops app uses distributed ledger technology (block-chain).
