How is hydropower sustainable?
I didn’t even get to use the app because I became suspicious when having to choose how I best wanted to offset my carbon footprint from a few different options including hydropower solutions. Dams used for generating hydropower have immense negative effects on the environment: they actually emit CO2 due to the stagnant water, they disrupt natural flows of water by drastically reducing river debit, impacting vegetation and wildlife downriver, as well as fish populations, and they destroy landscapes. This is without mentioning the actual CO2 emissions due to their actual construction. So how is this offsetting? Thanks, will find other ways.Show lessAnda356
Developer Response
Hi Anda, thanks for your feedback and raising this issue. Large hydropower plants can indeed have negative effects on the environment, connected with blocking, diverting, or changing the natural course of river systems. We are, however, looking into partnering up with small-scale hydropower projects (run-of-the-river hydropower), which do not divert or store large amounts of water. They are modelled after tidal energy, in which underwater turbines are anchored to the riverbed and spin from the flowing river current.Housing
It should include apartments. Not everyone has a house. Otherwise, it is very good.Fitzi53
Too easy to accidentally click out😑
Perhaps add a confirmation question. I was almost done and the app got laggy, I tapped once to click out of that step, nothing happened so I clicked a few more times. it responded to all those taps and basically started me over 😤AceDsk
Totally eye opening and life changing
It takes a feeling of wanting to be a better global citizen and turns it into real data and tangible action.Hellochriscole
Great App
Very good to know that I can give back.jcybsyvsth
Great Idea, but why isn’t it free?
It’s great what they’re doing, and it makes sense that there’s a way to donate, but why isn’t there a free version? Users shouldn’t have to pay a subscription to learn how to reduce their carbon footprint.MrGoose112233
Legit offset app
Really well designed app that makes carbon offset super simple - well audited / scientifically verified offset projects - and team behind this has been super responsive on feedback and suggestionseastcoastrunner12
Love the app but…
Sometimes if forgets me. I keep being afraid I’ve lost my impact. Yet, I am charged! So I know I’m still offsetting.TaVoWilliams
So far so good but could use more detail
It works great but I’d like to see more data into where my carbon output is the most so I can better control my behavior.akwkejjijxjekd
Holding my person accountable, as I should be.
Glad to know someone cares.Omel27
