EcoTweaks
Out now on iOS and Android

What are food miles, and are they worth obsessing over? The carbon footprint of a food is made up of many things, and the way it is transported can be a big part of this calculation, particularly if it has been flown to us.

Choosing the greenest food option in all the noise can be really overwhelming, but one thing is clear: eating seasonally is a great and safe choice.

A greener basket is often a cheaper one, and so reducing the carbon footprint of your weekly shop is something well worth giving a go!

From deciding what to swap, to figuring out how to cook new ingredients, making greener food choices can be easy!

Some foods are greener than others, but how much greener is one food compared to another, exactly? Can we put a number on it? It turns out that we can, and people have, but it’s much more complicated to do than you might think.

In an effort to live more sustainably, choosing to focus on food can lead to massive carbon savings in a manageable, achievable and fun way.

Very quick update for early adopters of EcoTweaks: you may have noticed that the "CO2 saved by everyone" metric on the homepage went down today by about 900kg. This was just a quick calibration to make sure that none of the carbon savings made by the developer for testing purposes were included in the app going forward. From now on, that number is genuinely how much we have saved together as a community. It's incredible to see that we have already saved 286kg of carbon emissi

Thanks to some incredible people who have offered their time to test EcoTweaks, we have been able to spend the last few weeks working hard to iron out imperfections and improve the app to be as interesting and usable as possible. We are so excited to be able to say that things are going well, and we are moving into the final preparation phase before launch! It feels pretty surreal to see a year's worth of work coming together, and to be able to put a date to EcoTweaks hitting

After 9 months of design and development, EcoTweaks is heading into alpha testing! It's a huge moment. Developing EcoTweaks has been such an incredible journey of learning, not only technically but on a personal level too. After working in a corporate environment for 5 years, launching into self-employment and tackling all the challenges that come with that has made me a more resilient, appreciative, and motivated person than I ever thought I could be. That has been one of th
