As regards sustainability in the country, a Nigeria-based energy firm, Eden Lotus Power, has announced the launch of a new carbon offsetting app, Eden Zero.
This app is unveiled to tackle climate change and also help users reduce activities that affect the environment.
The firm, in a statement, said Eden Zero was designed to make sustainable action accessible for everyone, by providing users with an easy way to measure and track their carbon footprint and actively reduce it through offsets.
The statement read in part, “One of the unique features of Eden Zero is that it connects users to long-term carbon-offset initiatives, which help reduce Sub-Saharan Africa’s reliance on hazardous energy generation. This means that users can have a direct and tangible impact on the environment, while also tracking their carbon offset progress in real-time.”
Speaking on the launch of the app, the CEO of Eden Lotus Power, Olumuyiwa Abiodun, was quoted as saying, “Our goal is to offer socially conscious people personalised emission data while also offering environmentally friendly offsetting options that increase carbon filters and lessen the reliance on fossil fuels for energy production in underserved communities in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is interesting that we can achieve this while simultaneously encouraging millions of people to reduce their own carbon footprint. Offsetting is never enough; millions of people and companies must also make direct changes.”
The Eden Zero App was designed and developed in collaboration with Drumroll Digital, a digital, brand, and marketing consulting subsidiary of Creative Intelligence Group.
Speaking on the partnership, CIG CEO, Femi Odewunmi, said, “Building the Eden Zero project and its complex algorithm was highly fulfilling for the CI Group team. More so, because we get to be part of a global step in making the earth sustainable for future generations. I think that being able to connect with high-impact sustainability projects in Sub-Saharan Africa will be a very useful feature for users.”
