Really cool idea that I hope catches on
May 28

The idea of this app is it helps you estimate your carbon footprint based on your lifestyle and spending habits, and rewards you seeds for making more sustainable choices, like buying from a sustainable company or second hand. They’ve rated brands based on how climate friendly and transparent they are. You can use your seeds to redeem gift cards to sustainable brands or spend them on organizations that are fighting climate change. The app is pretty polished and intuitive. The app earns money through affiliate links to different brands. I hope the app gets more popular, it’s a cool idea executed well.

Timely, intuitive, impactful

Thanks to Joro, I am a lot more aware of my own carbon footprint and am able to cultivate an intuitive sense for small and big actions I can take to minimize it. It is a new way of being. I am also more thoughtful about big ticket items (carbon footprint wise) and find myself making better informed choices. For me, this also helps temper anxiety that I would otherwise have (I believe climate anxiety is real and increasing over time as our planet faces harmful effects of climate change). Thank you Team Joro and keep at it! Your purpose-driven company is the change we need.

Action over anxiety

Commons has turned my climate anxiety and thinkwashing into manageable, meaningful, and actionable lifestyle changes that help me feel part of a communal effort treat our planet with more respect. The app’s UX/UI is implemented in a succinct, engaging, and approachable way. The information and topics they highlight are relevant and interesting. Overall, I feel that I’m learning while taking action, and the knowledge I’ve gained from using this app gives me more inspiration and hope for the future.

Not so Commons thinking…

Life’s busy isn’t it. Sometimes we just need to say hold on a minute… pause forward… learn what we don’t know and make that part of the guide rails to our lives. The Commons App can walk you through some of the key decisions you need to make to redirect your time attention and finances. Think about it… what kind of a life and a world would you like your children to live in. Lead by example. #pauseforward #lifeisart ⚡️❤️💜💙⚡️
