RANDOM ACTS OF GREEN

The new mobile app Random Acts of Green is proving that small daily choices can add up to a big collective impact, showing people how they can make a difference for climate change. With the app, individuals can see how they are achieving positive change by logging over 40 green acts and adding up points.
