Sustainability App

iVolunteer App
The iVolunteer app is designed to coordinate with your phone and organizations around the city to increase participation. With the addition to analyzing its positive effect on the amount of carbon dioxide being produced, I assisted with the development and the presentation of this sustainable app.

Fuel Consumption
iVolunteer has the opportunity to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide produced and pumped into the atmosphere. By pinpointing the location of the volunteer and the event site, the app would be able to generate the necessary data to provide estimations for travel (mileage, time, etc.) and map out alternate routes. Whether the transportation involve bicycling, public buses, or carpooling, all will help to decrease our carbon footprint. "Public transportation with its overarching effects on land use, is estimated to reduce CO2 emissions by 37 million metric tons annually".
