Fuel-guzzling vehicles appear to be the major source of greenhouse gases, but a lesser-known fact is that cement has a larger carbon footprint than all the world’s trucks combined. But people are used to measuring carbon emissions from what meets the eye and ignoring the less visible causes of global warming.
To gauge the impact of the Middle East’s sustainable living push against climate change, We at the Arab Youth Climate Movement Qatar (AYCMQ) has developed an app to measure carbon emissions from each household.
It processes information including the number of cars, electricity and gas consumption, and the type of housing, to calculate a home’s environmental impact. Based on this information, users will receive suggestions for recycling and reusing, along with other measures to reduce carbon emissions.

Super initiative from Qatar 👏 it reminds me a bit of @climatehero. And it is great to have suggestions on how to make your lifestyle sustainable. I suppose quite easy to use through an App 😊
And together we've planted over 150,000 trees. One tree is planted for every climate review written to an organization that is Open for Climate Dialogue™.
How does this work?
The Climate Action App
We plant a tree for every new user
Welcome, let's solve the climate crisis together
Write or agree to climate reviews to make businesses and world leaders act. It’s easy and it works.
