MyEarth - Track carbon savings Reviews

by Nmlee22

After using MyEarth for a few weeks I have developed a better understanding on how much energy I use each day. I enjoyed the calculation tab that directed me to links where I could inform myself about carbon emissions. I found it rewarding to see my overall carbon savings over a period of time. Unfortunately I found it difficult to commit to constantly tracking my savings and became uninterested quickly.

I think MyEarth is a good start but I think it could be made a lot better. I like how you can measure your carbon footprint through this. It also makes you think about whether you do things like turn the lights off, unplug your appliances, etc. It's a good app for somebody who likes to save the environment but for someone who isn't that into "being green", I think it's too much. Personally, I wouldn't go onto MyEarth every single time I unplugged something or filled up a reusable water bottle. I wish somehow it would be easier to track these things and it would be a better app.

MyEarth is a great way for the environmentally-conscious to try to keep track of how they are preserving the environment as well as get ideas to do so. However, I don't think the directions for MyEarth are very clear. I was confused when it prompted me to choose activities I participated in. I thought it meant only that day but it actually meant any activities that I sometimes participate in that I can then log as I complete them on a daily basis. It could use some more directions and activity options to make it a more comprehensive application.

MyEarth is revolutionary and simple to use. By entering activities performed throughout the day, My Earth gives suggestions on how to be more environmentally conscious through water and electricity use, recycling, traveling and even food consumption. The activities performed are easy to catalog and the users carbon impact is tracked and able to be viewed over all days activities were performed. It also tells me which week was my best and worst for carbon saving activities. Great app!

Overall, I think MyEarth is useful and would be best targeted towards very environmentally conscious people. It's amazing to use MyEarth and then become aware of how much you waste. However, I don't know how many people my age would download it and have time or even remember to enter everything into MyEarth . However, I think it's a great start and fantastic idea!

This is a great app for anyone to have on their phone that wants to track their carbon savings. There is many helpful tools to help people understand what they can do to help the environment. It is also a great idea that people can track and see the impact they are making. Making small changes everyday can really help the environment in the long run. I liked how MyEarth was a fun and interactive, it made me want to keep using it more and continue to track my savings! The only thing that gave me trouble was the navigation through MyEarth , but after playing around with it for a while I got the hang of it!

MyEarth is a really cool idea and does work well there are just a few ways it could be improved. It would be a little easier to use if once you added an action it was taken off the list and some kind of alarm to remind you to update your usage would probably make more people keep steady track of their carbon footprint. Overall a good app!

I think MyEarth is perfect for those looking for everyday activities that can help reduce your carbon footprint and help our environment. MyEarth is really easy to navigate and gives excellent suggestions of activities you can do to track your carbon savings. I also like that it keeps track of your overall total savings and tells you how much water you've saved and how much carbon you've saved in terms of trees saved.

MyEarth is easy to navigate and includes a lot of comprehensive information - and the graphics are cute! The only suggestion I would make is to find a way to get people to want to use it because those who are environmentally conscious are likely already doing many of these activities and will want to use MyEarth, but it would be more useful for those less environmentally conscious or less aware of their carbon footprint.

I find that MyEarth is perfect if you enjoy tracking your carbon footprint and water use. It promotes sustainable efforts and is an easy app to navigate. A slight problem with MyEarth is that activities are not as customizable as they could be. It would be beneficial to be able to create your activities and share them with others. Otherwise MyEarth is worth your time if you want to learn more about helping the environment and reducing your personal impact.

I used the My Earth app for over a month and the features helped me become more aware of my daily water, electricity, reducing, and travel practices. I became more conscious of my energy decisions throughout the week and made more of an effort to eliminate waste. I never realized how easy it could be to cut back on water and electricity usage. MyEarth helps you realize the negative impact that your actions can have on the environment. I challenged myself to cut back each day and tried to improve my personal practices. Overall, MyEarth is a great tool if you want to analyze your energy savings and do your part to be a waste eliminator.

I found out about MyEarth from Time Magazine. Overall, it seems like a well designed app with potential, which I talk about below.
Great:
1. Aesthetic: the polar bear design is adorable! 😊 The growing iceberg as you accumulate carbon lbs is also a really nice touch, it's a nice mini motivator to get me to complete the activities. MORE.
2. Calender: being able to see how my progress over a period of time (& graphically, YES.) is a wonderful feature.
3. Search bar: I can easily find the activity I want.
Needs work:
1. Amount of activities: The very 1st thing I looked for was planting new trees/vegetables/etc.; I couldn't find it. The current list could be extended to include more active actions. Maybe consider letting users contribute activities that could be reviewed by the developer.
2. Name: unless I type in "this app track," I couldn't find MyEarth in the store. Consider changing it.

I think MyEarth is a great way to make a consumer aware of their choices and make them take responsibility for their actions. The idea is great, however I don't think I could necessarily keep up with it as easily as I can keep up with a food or exercise tracking app (which are easier to use in my opinion). I think MyEarth is a great tool to spread awareness and I do believe something like this will be more popular as people get more educated about the environment and want to take action.

MyEarth is really interesting and educational. The concept is unique and useful for encouraging people to live a sustainable lifestyle. Many people do not bother changing the way they live to help improve the environment. I think this is because they do not see an immediate impact. The statistical data in MyEarth would motivate me to change my behavior. One downside is that most people get excited about stuff like this and then forget about it. There needs to be a feature that makes MyEarth become a part of people’s daily routines. Personal alarms would be helpful.

MyEarth is very useful for individuals that want to try and improve our environment and our earth. It has some great activities that can be preformed by individuals and in the end each individual can see how much they are helping the environment. Most people don't realize how much of an impact little things like he activities on MyEarth can have. By using MyEarth individuals can track their progress and see how many gallons of water one saves, along with how many trees one has saved. If more and more people learn about MyEarth , it has potential to help our earth.

MyEarth is very cool. It's interesting how I can change a few things I do throughout the day to save carbon and help our environment! It has a lot of potential, but I think more people need to find out about it. I'm going to let my roommates know about MyEarth and make sure they download it. We can change not only a few things we do around our house throughout the day, but also we can change a few bad habits we do during the day and help our environment out.

This is a great app! It is super easy to use and a great way to track the impact you have on the environment. If you are a forgetful person you can even set daily reminders to track your activities, however I couldn’t get this feature to work the first time I used it. Prior to MyEarth I never realized how much carbon was used from leaving a charger plugged in while it’s are in use or even from doing a load of laundry. I have definitely become more environmentally conscious.

this app app is not only easy to navigate and comprehend, but also serves as a great source of knowledge of how to became environmentally responsible citizen. The best feature of MyEarth is one's ability to choose the daily activities, commit to its performance and personally keep track of progress. The power of building an awareness on how to be environmentally friendly cannot be underestimated. MyEarth allows one vividly see how they can protect and nurture mother Earth by taking the smallest steps towards global improvement while performing basic daily tasks.
