## What is One Small Step?

The solutions to climate change start with us. Build green habits today.

We get it: climate change can feel overwhelming. We all know that we should be doing more to address the climate crisis, but with information scattered everywhere, it’s hard to know where to start, which sources to trust, and most importantly, if the changes we make as individuals will *actually* have an impact. 

That’s where we come in! Meet One Small Step: your personal sustainability coach. Using behavioural science, the One Small Step app makes it easy, simple & fun to make sustainable changes. Gain clarity on the environmental impact of your personal choices. Get curated step-by-step programs that are designed to be easy & achievable. Build eco-friendly habits to quickly shrink your carbon footprint.

HOW ONE SMALL STEP HELPS YOU 

Start by understanding the impact of your current lifestyle choices. Get a breakdown of your carbon footprint & see how you compare to the average Australian. You’ll receive a personalised sustainability roadmap to see how to reduce your carbon emissions down to the UN’s 2050 goal of 2 tonnes per year. 

Instead of feeling overwhelmed by information, you’ll get step-by-step programs with trusted recommendations on sustainable products. For example, if your current superannuation fund invests in fossil fuels, we’ll recommend you a program to  switch to a sustainable option. You’ll be guided every step of the way from comparing ethical funds, right through to making the switch & updating your employer with your fund details. 

Stay motivated on your journey to net zero carbon emissions. Through our gamified programs and our habit tracking tool, you’ll build your confidence & skills to take control of your carbon footprint. Be rewarded for taking climate action & see your impact in real time. Our Teams feature helps you to achieve your sustainability goals & build your momentum by completing weekly challenges with your friends, family & workmates.

We tend to think that our individual choices don’t matter, but they do when we’re acting together. Our behaviour has a flow-on effect and will influence others to do the same. All it takes is One Small Step at a time. 


AS FEATURED ON ABC NEWS ONLINE

"Making small changes doesn't require a lot of brain power but we tend to overthink things and worry they won't actually contribute to helping the big picture. In actual fact, those smaller actions can really build a sense of motivation and encourage people to be more mindful of what they're consuming and why."

“Our ultimate goal is to reduce the cognitive barriers that prevent people from sticking to green habits, something behavioural science research has only begun to understand in the past few years.”

ABOUT ONE SMALL STEP

Our mission is to help millions of people reduce their personal carbon footprints down to the UN’s 2050 goal of 2 tonnes of CO2e per person, per year. 

The goal is to grow this community to 28 million members, the same number of users as FitBit. Even if our users only partially reduce their annual footprints by 6 tonnes each, together, that achieves the same carbon impact as closing down 40 coal-fired power stations. 

It’s ambitious, and you can help achieve this. The more people who use the One Small Step app, the more insights we gain into how to more effectively support you to reduce your environmental impact. We’d love to get your feedback and input on what is working for you, and what isn’t in this version of the app. You can message us through Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or by emailing us at info@onesmallstepapp.com.

We regularly update the collective impact our users are having on our website. To learn more, head to: https://www.onesmallstepapp.com.

### 5/5 — Every day every one of us can make a difference

*2023-01-25, version 1.6.16*

One Small Step is fun and useful. Helps you, your family whatever that looks like and your community gradually systematically sustainedly cut your own carbon emissions footprint. 
And if millions of us follow its informed guidance and science, the figures will give us hope.

### 5/5 — Easy, intuitive and Aussie made

*2022-12-17, version 1.6.15*

An intuitive app to reduce your carbon footprint. It’s totally tailored for Australia which makes it easier to act than other apps I’ve used. I also like the step by step guide to gain proper knowledge beforehand as well

### 5/5 — Great carbon footprint reduction app

*2022-11-24*

Much easier and more digestible "small steps"

### 4/5 — Great idea but…

*2022-10-26*

I love this but it is hard for me because I live in an apartment and I can’t really ride my bike safely so I must rely on my car to get me places so things like that I can’t really change. I’m also switching to a keto diet which isn’t an option when you are creating an account.

### 5/5 — Must have!

*2022-08-22*

Helped me to find somewhere to start! The Climate crisis can be overwhelming especially if you feel stuck in a cycle of wanting to do your part but not taking the first step (app developers came up with the perfect name). Very manageable steps and explanations provided for everything! I’ve only had this app 1 day and I have learned so much!
