Adva is an educational application designed to raise environmental consciousness and to incite individual action for transformative social change. It serves primarily as a calculator of the user’s carbon footprint based on their lifestyle choices. It also incentivises environmentally sustainable tasks/practices by awarding the user with discounts or cash back on sustainably sourced/produced items, as well as Starbucks vouchers. Additionally, Adva is able to recommend customised tasks/activities based on the user’s overall lifestyle proclivities while informing them on how their actions may benefit the environment. Accordingly, users can select a preferred carbon reduction path to embark on, as well as imagine their own virtual sustainable ‘planet’. More details can be found here (https://www.adva.io/).
