Commit2Act, TakingITGlobal
The Commit2Act mobile app empowers young
idealists to discover, engage and commit to positive
actions that help make the world a better place.
Using this mobile app, young people can explore five
categories of climate change action, and work to
reduce their ecological footprint and protect the
environment. The app provides users with a variety
of actions that they can take, and also allows them
to track their progress towards specific goals and
objectives. Commit2Act also allows users to see how
their actions are making a difference, and changes
action into habit through integrating reward into
these actions. For example, there is a leaderboard to incentivize users and encourage
friendly competition.
