In a recent report, NASA has proven through direct satellite observations that individual driving forces of recent climate change are the result of human impact. Specifically, greenhouse gases and suspended pollution particles in the atmosphere, called aerosols, from the burning of fossil fuels are responsible for most of modern warming. This first-of-its-kind study is now considered a gold standard in the scientific research of climate change.
And as the prognosis from many scientists throughout the world grows more bleak by the day, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and powerless to make a difference, and to lose hope that big governments and big businesses will come to the rescue and reverse the tide.
Which is why we created Greenie.
This free mobile app was designed to help everyday people do our part in the fight against what’s become the most immediate existential threat to our existence.
Greenie is always right at your fingertips (it’s on your smartphone!)…easy to use…and continually updating.
We’ll keep you informed of what’s going on with our planet with a daily news feed of global climate change issues from the industry’s best minds and publications — and how it all relates to science and culture and politics.We’ll also deliver a continuous stream of information to make you aware of activist groups and ongoing events around the world and how you can join and support these efforts — from the work of The Sierra Club to The Climate Reality Project to Beyond Carbon to World War Zero and more.
We’ll give you resources that encourage and facilitate political involvement and how to influence politicians and business leaders to initiate the critical changes needed in the way we view and treat our planet.
And we’ll give you practical, everyday energy-saving — and money-saving — tips, as well as provide an automated calculation and summary of how implementing those tips can add up, individually and collectively.
Even better, we’ll give you a fast and easy way to plant a tree (or trees) — and planting trees is considered by many experts to be the most effective way to reduce CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. Plus, Greenie offers a way to make tree plantings a gift for all kinds of occasions and send the recipient a personalized gift certificate in just minutes — right from your smartphone!
And as to planting trees… Greenie now has a Greenie Fundraising feature that allows you to create a fundraising event for your organization that ties raising money into planting trees through Greenie and the National Forest Foundation. And everybody wins!
So if you believe our responsibility to save the planet from climate change is an uphill battle, don’t despair. Download the Greenie App and get involved.
Together we can make a difference. And Mother Earth will thank us.
