A new climate change mobile app has been launched in Lagos to tackle climate change issues.
Eden Power, purveyors of clean, sustainable energy will launch the Eden Zero, a mobile application platform developed to tackle climate change in October.
Chief Executive Officer, Mr Olumuyiwa Abiodun announced in a statement on Thursday in Lagos that the app would focus on educating individuals on how they could take effective steps to actively reverse climate change effects.
“The platform will also connect them to long-term carbon-offset initiatives, which will reduce Sub-Saharan Africa’ reliance on hazardous energy generation,” the statement added.
It said that Eden Zero was a global platform that would offer individuals a carbon calculator to calculate their carbon footprint and choose from tailormade, sustainable and real-life recommendations to reduce and neutralise their carbon emissions through offsets and behavioural changes.
“These recommendations will cover daily lifestyle areas like energy use, transportation, shopping, among others.
“It highlights the direct connection between daily activities and individual carbon emissions, encouraging users to consciously join the climate change fight by offsetting carbon footprints with a personalised monthly subscription.
“Eden Power has consistently shown its commitment to ecologically conscious initiatives by leveraging cutting-edge technology to provide renewable, cost-effective energy solutions that are also environmentally friendly.
“The introduction of Eden Zero serves to bolster that commitment as well as encourage a more conscious approach to the effects of climate change,” Abiodun explained.
On the importance of Eden Zero project, he stressed that the plan was to provide personalised emission information to socially conscious individuals.
