Green Steps app for iPhone and iPad
Developer: ALKEMY S.p.A.
First release : 17 May 2012
App size: 12.6 Mb
Green Steps tracks your travels and reveals their environmental impact. The app evaluates the fuel consumption while traveling, considering the means of transport used, the distance and the chosen path.
At the end of your travel, Green Steps scores it: you get 100 points for a perfectly green travel, zero for a very polluting one. You can also share your scores with social networks or email.
The application keeps track, anonymously, of the data relating on movements. These data will be used for research purposes only in their aggregate forms.
To improve the usability in next updates Greens stores, in a completely anonymous way, usage statistics.
The initiative
