Keyboard warriors have somehow had a bad rep, but there are times when it’s a good thing to let your fingers do the fighting—especially when it could save the only home you know.
GCash users who have tapped into GCash Forest, the personal carbon tracker within the mobile app, have helped avoid carbon emissions by adopting more eco-conscious lifestyles. Since its launch in June, GCash Forest counts more than 300 million grams of carbon emissions prevented through green actions monitored by the GCash app.
“Taken together, the simple changes we make in our daily lives—such as walking instead of driving, going paperless, cultivating our own backyard garden, recycling and upcycling—make a difference to our planet,” Mynt’s Chief Marketing Officer Chris Manguera said.
There are now more than 933,000 users of GCash Forest, and they earn green energy points whenever they choose actions that would mean less carbon emissions. These points let them plant a virtual tree in GCash Forest, which grows with every green activity.
