Eden Power, clean and sustainable energy providers, yesterday said it plans to launch Eden Zero, a mobile application platform developed to tackle climate change, in October.
In a statement, Chief Executive Officer, Eden Power, Olumuyiwa Abiodun, was quoted as saying that the app will focus on educating individuals on how to take effective steps to actively reverse climate change effects.
“The platform will also connect them to long-term carbon-offset initiatives, which will reduce sub-Saharan Africa’s reliance on hazardous energy generation,” he added.
According to the company, Eden Zero is a global platform that will offer individuals a carbon calculator to calculate their carbon footprint and choose from tailor-made, sustainable and real-life recommendations to reduce and neutralise their carbon emissions through offsets and behavioural changes.
The statement reads further: “These recommendations will cover daily lifestyle areas like energy use, transportation, shopping, among others.
“It highlights the direct connection between daily activities and individual carbon emissions, encouraging users to consciously join the climate change fight by offsetting carbon footprints with a personalised monthly subscription.
“Eden Power has consistently shown its commitment to ecologically conscious initiatives by leveraging cutting-edge technology to provide renewable, cost-effective energy solutions that are also environmentally friendly.
“The introduction of Eden Zero serves to bolster that commitment as well as encourage a more conscious approach to the effects of climate change.”
We are rapidly approaching the brink of irreversible climate chaos. If we are to avert the harsh future we have created, we must reduce global carbon emissions by 50 percent per decade, beginning now.
On the importance of the Eden Zero project, Abiodun said the plan is to provide personalised emission information to socially conscious individuals.
“It will also provide sustainable offsetting options that benefit the environment by increasing carbon filters and reducing the over-reliance of underserved communities in Sub-Saharan Africa on fossil-fuelled energy generation.”
On the need for initiatives like Eden Zero, Abiodun said: “We are rapidly approaching the brink of irreversible climate chaos. If we are to avert the harsh future we have created, we must reduce global carbon emissions by 50 percent per decade, beginning now.
“If we love our children more than we love ourselves, we only have one choice: take collective action. This is what we hope to achieve with Eden Zero.”
