One of the practices that is "good for the environment" is called "earthing", which is just standing barefoot on the ground. I guess that can be nice, but I don't see how it is good for the environment. Where it really goes off the rails is when they say that the action of standing barefoot "frees radicals", whatever that means, and that the Earth's "natural frequencies" have some sort of healing powers.

TL;DR: This app is a pseudo-science based waste of time.

I loved this app. Unfortunately, it does not work/load/run at all for me any more. Don’t know if something changed in an update, but I lost my streak and can’t get in to do anything. :(

I’m already a well-informed person trying to radically decrease my consumptive impact on this world. This app has lots of nice features, but does it really get us to change? There are actions to take but all on roughly equal footing, despite differences in impact (eg recycling plastic vs eating plant-based meals), and missing many options or scaling up (Eg reducing use, reusing), let alone getting into the ways high consumption is systematically built into our lives, and therefore difficult to solve through individual actions such as turning out lights. There are several educational challenges, which often have helpful links, but again don’t push us very far. So it is intriguing, but I’d like to see it provide entry to greater action, more introspection toward larger commitments, and more emphasis on systemic change alongside individual change. I’m curious how it lands with people not yet familiar with the issues, SDGs etc.
