About Us
EcoFoote links people and businesses to a multidimensional approach to sustainability. Our platform takes you on a journey of measuring and reducing your personal environmental impact. We encourage sustainable behaviour by setting interactive tasks that enable you to reduce your eco-footprint. With every completed task, we reward you with eco-coins that can be used to purchase sustainable products. In doing so, we close the feedback loop in a circular economic model of guiding, rewarding and connecting people to sustainable solutions. EcoFoote uses lifestyle based information to calculate personal environmental impact, incentivizing healthy behaviour that benefits you and the planet.

The Problem
Climate change is arguably the biggest crisis that the world faces today. The world has surpassed 415 Parts Per Million (ppm) of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and this is the highest it’s been in human history. We have already increased the global average temperature by 1 degree Celsius and are on track to increase global temperatures by 4 degrees Celsius by the end of the century.
Ever since the industrial revolution, we have drastically altered our planet’s atmosphere by increasing our CO2 emissions, which is the chief temperature regulating compound of our climate. This is causing a chain reaction of biodiversity loss, damaging ecosystems, pandemics and an increasing frequency of natural disasters. We are affecting the Earth’s environment and the countless species that rely on it. What is happening to our climate is another indicator of where we are going wrong socially, politically and economically. If we continue to drive ecosystems beyond their limit, the Earth and life as we know it will be radically and irreversibly effected. We must grow towards being a sustainable species and learn to be the custodians of our beautiful planet. The time to act is now!
EcoFoote aims to support an essential shift towards sustainability with our multipurpose system that benefits you and our environment. So help us to help our planet and be one of the first to pre-register in an effort to preserve our wonderful world.
Our Journey
The name EcoFoote credits the woman who discovered the greenhouse gas effect in 1856. Eunice Newton Foote was the first scientist known to have experimented on the warming effect of sunlight on different gases. She went on to theorize that changing the proportion of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would change its temperature, in her paper Circumstances affecting the heat of the sun’s rays. At the time of her discovery, women were not allowed to present papers to the American Association of Advanced Sciences (AAAS), so she was never credited for her work.
As one of the many female scientists who never received recognition, Eunice Newton Foote deserves to be remembered for her contribution and legacy. In honour of her commitment to science and the betterment of our planet, EcoFoote pays tribute to her findings in our name and vision to combat climate change.
Our SDG Targets
Through our journey of guiding individuals to reduce their environmental impact, we address 5 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
