Most of us talk about climate change, but very few actually know how much our daily choices contribute to it. The food we eat, the transport we take, and even the devices we charge have a measurable carbon impact. Students often want to live sustainably but lack an easy way to track and improve their habits.

My idea is GreenSteps, a gamified carbon footprint tracker designed for students. Every day, users log simple activities like commuting method (bus, bike, car), food choices (veg, non-veg), and electricity/water usage. The app calculates a daily carbon score based on global emission factors and shows how individual choices add up over time.

Leaderboards make the experience competitive and fun — students, hostel groups, or clubs can compete to maintain the lowest carbon footprint. The app can also offer eco-friendly tips, rewards (like campus café discounts for low-carbon days), and challenges (e.g., “Meat-Free Monday” or “No-Plastic Week”).

Who Benefits:
Students, universities looking to promote sustainability, and the environment.

Why It Matters:
This app will turn climate awareness into climate action by making students conscious of their impact and rewarding positive behavior. Over time, it can create a culture of sustainability across campuses.

  • Good idea! I think it’s great that every individual gets to do his/her part for the environment but at the same time benefit themselves too. It would be great if you provide a little insight towards the technical side of the initiative, like means etc
  • This is a brilliant idea! GreenSteps not only makes students aware of their individual carbon footprint but also turns sustainability into a fun, collective challenge. The gamified approach with leaderboards, rewards, and eco-challenges is exactly what’s needed to transform awareness into daily action.
  • great idea! monitoring of air quality is nice , it helps environment in many ways.
  • This is a great idea air quality monitoring is a growing subject present day to benefit the environment in many ways. To improve it maybe you can provide a clearer insight on the data usage that the sytem gives?
