Eco Guru, an environmental application.

Over the last few decades, our environment has been becoming increasingly exposed to several threats and problems. We discussed, that to make an extensive change and impact on how we treat our planet, we would have to alter our habits and inspire others to do so through education and awareness, helping each other towards our collective mission to tranform ourselves into a healthier version of ourselves with a more sustainable lifestyle. This would encompass so many different aspects of our lifestyle. From spiritual to dietary, to physical well-being.

In this project, we investigated some of these issues. We brought a technical solution for people who want to alter their habits to learn how to adopt a more eco-friendly lifestyle. We evaluated a few environmental applications, interviewed potential users who have grown concerned about the Earth-harming impact of their lifestyles and shadowed them. At the same time, they used one of the competitor's applications. By asking them to rank environmental issues based on their severity, we discovered that global warming, overpopulation, and pollution were some of the most common problems at the top of the list. We also found that the public's consumerism and lack of motivation significantly contribute to these issues. We took the following product design process and tools:
