Eco-Hero: Gamification of Global Warming Problems Through Website

The growing danger of global warming and environmental pollution requires innovative measures to push people towards eco-friendly living. EcoHero is an internet-based software that motivates green behavior in people. Its objective is to motivate eco-friendly behavior in individuals by giving them Eco points for doing a variety of tasks. These range from something as simple as recycling and conserving water to larger, more prominent efforts In this respect, community clean up drives, renewable sources of energy. EcoHero makes use of the mechanism of gamification wherein it is possible for the user to track the activity, which is being performed in return generate and avail, Eco points in the form of vouchers for a given range of eco-friendly products, which one can gain through the online portal. In that reward mechanism apart from boosting motivation to be present in an event; it encourages good habits at large.

Abstract

The growing danger of global warming and environmental pollution requires innovative measures to push people towards eco-friendly living. EcoHero is an internet-based software that motivates green behavior in people. Its objective is to motivate eco-friendly behavior in individuals by giving them Eco points for doing a variety of tasks. These range from something as simple as recycling and conserving water to larger, more prominent efforts In this respect, community clean up drives, renewable sources of energy. EcoHero makes use of the mechanism of gamification wherein it is possible for the user to track the activity, which is being performed in return generate and avail, Eco points in the form of vouchers for a given range of eco-friendly products, which one can gain through the online portal. In that reward mechanism apart from boosting motivation to be present in an event; it encourages good habits at large. Finally, with EcoHero, it strives for the growth of environment culture at mass scale level. With education materials, action advice, and a community of people looking out for one another, EcoHero empowers its user with the information and knowledge to make the appropriate decisions. Our pilot test results are encouraging about the potential of the application in causing significant behavior change. As users progress through the loop, we will collect this to result in producing significant environmental benefits worldwide. EcoHero is the real demonstration of what technology and community can do for some of the most important environmental concerns in our world today.
