Green Savvy

Green Savvy is an app designed to help users reduce waste and practice sustainable living. It provides information on how to properly dispose of trash, recycle, and find sustainable actions. What makes "Green Savvy" unique is its ability to allow users to add action goals based on the specific items they’ve searched to dispose of or recycle. These tailored goals encourage users to take actionable steps, rewarding progress and helping them develop eco-friendly habits that contribute to environmental protection in a practical and impactful way.

Getting Started via Camera or Search

The app begins by allowing users to create an account or log in if they already have one. After logging in, users can access the main page, where they can use the camera or search button to find information about items they wish to dispose of, which is one of the app's key features.

Camera Recognition: Disposal Methods & Sustainable Actions

The app includes image recognition that lets users take a photo of an item they want to dispose of. By pressing the camera button, users are directed to a page where they can activate the camera and take a picture. The app then identifies the item and provides detailed information on how to properly dispose of it. Additionally, it suggests sustainable actions users can take, along with a breakdown of the environmental impact, including waste reduction, CO2 emissions reduction, and landfill use reduction.

Search Function: Disposal Methods & Sustainable Actions

Users who prefer to search manually can use the search button next to the camera button to look up items they want to dispose of. They receive the same detailed disposal instructions and sustainable action suggestions as with the camera function. This feature also includes an environmental impact breakdown, helping users understand the positive effects of their choices.

Add Sustainable Actions to My Actions List

At the end of each 'Disposal Instructions' and 'Sustainable Actions' section, users will find a "See Details" button to open a popup with more in-depth information. Below the 'Sustainable Actions' section, there's an "Add to My Actions List" button to easily add personalized sustainable actions. These actions help users reduce waste from previously searched items and represent commitments to eco-friendly practices.

My Actions: Track, Act, and Earn

The "My Actions List" page serves as a personalized tracking tool where users can see all the sustainable actions they’ve added. Each action is associated with an "Action" button that users click once completed. Completing actions awards "Impact" points, and users can unlock badges as they accumulate points, encouraging continued eco-friendly behavior. This feature helps users track and implement the most relevant sustainable actions in their daily lives.
