Sustain Program vs EcoLogical

This is a program about everyday choices that are good for you and gentler on the environment. In a few weeks you’ll learn skills to reduce your ecological footprint, help conserve natural resources, and lessen the impact of climate change — while enhancing personal well-being and saving money. Sustain lets you personalize your experience so you practice the activities most relevant and important to you. You can choose to: • Deepen your appreciation and connection with the natural world • Reduce, reuse, and recycle • Advocate for the environment • Shift toward more sustainable eating. Features include: • Individual and (optional) team participation • Daily tips • Healthy recipes • An interactive Wall. Note: Sustain syncs with the web version through your organization’s wellness program; you must create your account on the web version before you can use the mobile app.

EcoLogical app makes it easier for you to make planet-loving choices at daily venues like coffee shops, boba shops, bakeries, and more. Currently, we do it by helping you unlock the full potential of your reusable cups and bags. You can easily locate stores offering discounts and rewards for bringing your own reusable gear to replace disposable supplies. Then, make a claim that you've brought your own gear and earn those discounts and rewards. Earned rewards at multiple stores can be tracked and managed easily in just one app. Once the rewards reach certain level, they can be redeemed for different items offered at each participating store. You can also learn the environmental benefits linked to each of your eco-friendly choices and track them over time to improve your choices at daily venues. The carbon emissions and waste reduction benefits are scientifically assessed based on life-cycle analysis framework on EcoLogical app. You can also learn how those environmental benefits compare to different daily behaviors generating carbon emissions and waste. To connect people who value environment, EcoLogical app also allows you to create sustainability-themed events to meet other users. Create or join one to have a chat with other planet-loving people at the same institution or in your local and recognize each other for making good choices for our planet. Although we are currently focused on reducing disposable wastes from daily venues, we have a future plan to address many other planet-helping consumer choices. Stay tuned for those!
