Meet Joe.
He’s heard about carbon footprints, and climate change.
?
But he’s totally confused by conflicting info about all of this stuff.
?
So he flies RyanAir, eats loads of red meat and drives around all day long.
♫
But it’s okay.
♫
Because he unplugs his phone charger when he isn’t using it.
♫
This story keeps happening across the country.
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
See the thing is, none of us want to actively screw up this planet.
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
But we can’t easily measure the effects of the steps we take.
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
So most of us either ignore the problem...
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
... or make quaint little token gestures.
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
We need a way to know if what we’re doing is actually helping.
?
Or at least if we did better today than yesterday.
Make it feel like a game
Make it feel like a game
How do we do this?
Speed up feedback
Give ownership over carbon data
Make data portable and aggregate it
What we need for
this:
Smart meter
Wifi box in building
A phone or laptop for each person
The Uk government is putting
smart meters in
every house in the UK.
They can measure power every 6
seconds
Phone ownership in
UK is approaching
200%
Average of 2 phones
per personnow!
All phones and laptops have unique ID’s you can listen for on a wireless network.
Rough outline of
how it would work.
Wifi box detects Joe by his phone or laptop.
Wifi box talks to smart meter
Wifi box turns smart meter figure to Co2 figure
Wifi box shares data with Joe, while he is in the building
Sample scenario: Joe at work
At work Joe shares an office with two other people
24Kwhrecorded with
meter in office
So the power for
each person is about 8kwh.
24Kwhbetween3 people
We use AMEE
to convert this...
Today: 25kilos
CO2
per person
Joes switches off lights in a room they don’t use.
Yesterday:25 kg / person
Today: 20 kg / person
Joe and everyone
else see how much it saves.
Yesterday:25 kg / person
Today: 20 kg / person
Joe’s feeling awesome and green and all
empowered and stuff!
This works at home and
anywhere with wifi and smart meter
We suddenly have a
target to aim it!
He’s starting to...
take out the
carbage.
Please help us find a new name... (sorry)
