Cut your carbon footprint

Make the world better and your bills smaller

- CARRIE MARSHALL

ARE YOU CARBON neutral? Apple is aiming to be completely carbon netural by 2030, and its global corporate operations already are. And with the Eevie app on your device, you can head in that direction too.

From driving cars and heating our homes to buying a new MacBook, the things we do have an environmen­tal impact and lead to increased carbon emissions. Fortunatel­y, we are now becoming more and more aware of the changes we need to make. We can change our habits in two ways. One, we can take steps to reduce our environmen­tal impact; and two, we can offset our carbon emissions by contributi­ng to projects that remove carbon from the atmosphere, such as tree planting.

As we’ll discover, Eevie helps you with both. It analyzes your lifestyle to identify areas where you could make changes to reduce your environmen­tal impact, and it also enables you to contribute to worthwhile tree–planting programs across the world.

One of the good things about apps such as Eevie is that they aren’t just good for the planet — they’re good for our physical and financial health too. Even little changes can go on to significan­tly reduce our environmen­tal impact while also helping to reduce our energy and shopping bills.
