The gamified carbon app

Turn your footprint into a leaf.

Three small tasks a day. Each one a measurable CO2 saving. Streaks, celebrations and a tree that grows with your savings: Source Green turns cutting carbon into a game you play every day.

How to play

Atmospheric CO2 at Mauna Loa, 14 October: 426.84 ppm

The game loop

One day, three tasks, one celebration.

At the heart of Source Green is a simple loop. It starts fresh every day, and every round ends with a real carbon saving.

01

Your tasks are ready

Every day the app picks three tasks that fit your profile: one easy, one medium, one hard. From transport to food, from energy to waste.

02

Complete and log

Done it? Tick it off with a single tap. The carbon you avoided goes straight to your account and your daily total updates.

03

Celebrate

Every second task brings the milestone of the day: confetti, the tree-day equivalent of the carbon you avoided and a short "Keep it up!"

04

Keep your streak

Your unbroken days are counted and your activity calendar fills up. Your history keeps every task with its date and saving.

Level tree

As your savings grow, so does your tree.

Your total savings take you through ten levels. Level two takes 5 kg; level ten takes 225 kg in total. Drag the slider and grow your own tree.

5 kg to the next level
0tree-days
0km of driving
0cups of coffee
0kWh of electricity

Equivalents use the app's own factors: 1 kg CO2e is about 6.2 km in a petrol car, 26 cups of coffee and 6 tree-days (a tree absorbs 60 kg of CO2 a year).

Features

A reason to come back every day.

Your weekly carbon budget

Compare your weekly footprint with the Paris Agreement target. While the gauge stays green, you are below the target.

10.3 kg CO₂e this week

Paris target: 47 kg / week

Your savings, category by category

Where did you make the biggest difference this month? The ring chart and ranked bars tell you.

A comment just for you

AI compares today's saving with yesterday's and writes you a short comment.

You saved 2.20 kg today, 29% more than yesterday. Great work!
