@aaronoleary @chrismessina @nik_hazell thanks Nik! I am really excited about the possibility for massive change in attitudes this app can make. Can you imagine as you browse the web being able to see a badge that represents the owners individual commitment to the environment in personal terms, rather than mere sponsorship? When it's a company, that GreenHabit badge is an aggregate of the founders and employees environmental commitment (when the company invites employees by its referral code). Seeing others making green changes motivates everyone to do the same. The possibility to make immediate and lasting change is possible if we can get the word out. Thanks for your support.

@aaronoleary @chrismessina @emotf completely agree. It's so hard at the moment to work out what is "real" and what is "posturing". We're in the process of getting our company B Corp certification; they were more interested in how much paper we use (none, we're a tech company) than what our AWS bill is (it's huge, and it's all coal-powered!).

James and I are building a tool to nuke your inbox with a focus on the carbon footprint of email. We'll show how recycling your emails β»οΈ - unsubscribing from and deleting everything - can massively help to reduce your carbon impact on the world π. You can start over without changing your email address! β¨
The tool will show how many emails you have in total with interesting stats like how many unread, how many old subscriptions, and how many active subscriptions. Then we'll unsubscribe you from all subscriptions and archive or delete everything in your inbox! π

@dinkydani21 Love this idea Danielle! Will this be submitted to the festival?
StartKit.AI
@aaronoleary Thank you! Yes if we get it finished in time π
@dinkydani21 we love this idea, we also realised the need to curb the number of emails left in our inbox and spam as email providers would have to keep them in data storage for ever! we are also tackling this problem in a different way. But it is good to know that there are people out there trying to solve this problem we see as a ticking time bomb :)

@cathleen_turner I love how simple it is to use! Always a good feature, also love how the challenges are not small habits but pretty impactful ones that are still approachable
Excellent. Would love some feedback on Makerβs Mint document signing and blockchain sealing app. Eco-friendly way to anchor data onto multiple public blockchains. Especially need feedback on the Windows version (no signing on that platform just sealing). Staging site with download links β> http://cwwebsitestatic1.s3-websi...
Consciously
At Consciously, we believe harnessing our purchasing power is the key to lasting change. Our browser plug in alerts you if a company is helping or hurting the causes you care about while you shop on Amazon. https://consciously.us/lp/consci... Currently we share data on animal testing status, black-owned, women-owned and small business to make conscious shopping quick and easy. We are adding an eco conscious label and we'd love feedback on what standard folks think a company needs to meet to be considered 'environmentally conscious'. Carbon Neutral? Committed to becoming carbon neutral in the future? What about their suppliers? It's a complex issue and feedback would be really helpful. Thanks!

@kim_pieper This is a. great concept, making conscious purchasing choices can be hard, excited to see this take off!

@denis_devigne1 you've already planted 100k trees? That's awesome! Who are you using to plant the trees?
@nik_hazell Thanks! We're planting with OneTreePlanted ; https://www.vidday.com/post/we-p...
Company 360
My product: Company 360 for investment research. The applicability to Green Earth edition is that users can find/research environmentally sustainable companies for investing. I can probably add a screener for that category in search.
The app is dedicated to Value Investing (finding undervalued stocks) method and uses formulas/valuation models from current academic research. Calculations are exposed and detailed info is provided on how the formulas work, where input comes from and terminology.
Benefits new investors that use bare-bones trading platforms that donβt offer research functionalities.
Currently on AppStore (iOS) and Iβm planning to create Android version.

Definitely looking for feedback.
We would love your feedback and are looking for AR developers to build our founding team!

Very nice
i would like to mention Between busy lives and first-time maker fear, we know some of you may be feeling unsure about how your submission will shape out. We want to remind you that Makers Festival is an inclusive event and win or lose, you can usually expect to gain something by pushing yourself into new spaces of creativity, resourcefulness, and skill.
Good initiative
Thanks i will try soon
@aaronoleary would it be acceptable to tweak style in the app after submission closes and before voting opens?
Done, we broke the coffee machine but could make it on time, I was surprised that we were the only hardware project, you can check the proto here: http://ph.frigrow.com/ feedback appreciated!
Great work
Our Flagship product named after our startup promises to improve the way we deal with trivial/temporary media on the internet. We wrote a blog about the ever-increasing need for online storage and how data centres are growing exponentially (have a read https://solid.fish/main/blog/5/t...).
Using our platform we hope to recycle digital data storage used thereby making the internet sustainable and GREEN!
SolidFish's concept is simple. We transform your viewable media (Pdfs, Docs, Images, Text, and Weblinks) into a code (we call a SOLIDCODE) which opens up a lot of sharing possibilities: Share your Solidcodes on social media, via SMS, on voice calls or anonymously via our platform. You can even share the code on paper :).
This makes your media versatile and portable across multiple devices with ease!! And when your media is done, we will automatically delete it and recycle the data storage used thereby curbing the ever-increasing demand for more data centres.
But we need your feedback on how well our platform works i.e improvements, new features, things we have missed, issues etc.
Our URL is https://solid.fish and our home page is https://solid.fish/home
That's all folks - I hope we win something cool :)
