### 5/5 — Planting Trees while driving.

*2024-07-19*

Thank you for making it possible for me to plant trees while driving, and in particular on my long multi-state drives.  

Hytch adds a sense of relief for me, knowing that I’m not just offsetting my carbon footprint in some unknown way, but planting a tree at fixed intervals of distance while I drive!  I don’t change anything about my behavior, and yet im making the planet a slightly better place just by opening this app while driving.  

Commute.  Don’t pollute.

## Frequently asked questions about iHytch

### What does Hytch Rewards do?

Hytch Rewards is an app that incentivizes shared rides by offering rewards funded by local sponsors. It verifies that you are traveling with others using Bluetooth and location services, and rewards are earned for each verified trip.

### How do I earn rewards with Hytch?

You earn rewards by taking verified shared rides. When you start a ride, you share a QR code with your crew, who then scan it to join. Hytch verifies the trip, and rewards are calculated based on active sponsor campaigns in your area.

### Is Hytch Rewards free to use?

Yes, Hytch Rewards is completely free to use. Rewards are funded by local sponsors who invest in community benefits like reduced traffic and emissions, not by the users.

### What kind of rides can be rewarded?

The app rewards verified shared trips, including rides with friends and rides where a designated driver is used. The key is that the trip is verified as a shared journey.

### How does Hytch verify shared rides?

Hytch uses Bluetooth and location services during active trips to verify that users are traveling together. This ensures that only genuine shared rides are rewarded and prevents fraudulent claims.
