YOUR PLAN, YOUR PLANET

 

The California Academy of Sciences is looking to save the planet, and we showed up with Google to help.

Saving a planet is overwhelming and discouraging.
We broke the task down into three manageable pieces—and motivated people with the ability to see that they are making a difference, through tracking and data. And then we built a program from the ground up to house it all.

 

THREE PLACES TO FOCUS

We identified three key areas (out of mounds of Cal Academy data) where little changes would make a big difference, and then built tracking pillars for each, all into one easy platform.


Lots of ways to interact

Play & Learn

Using simple animations, we brought the most 'holy shit’-inducing facts to life.

PLAY & LEARN Simple animations bring to life specific, facts, like shortening a shower by 7 minutes per day would save 1 school bus of water a year.

Simple Tips

For the most overwhelming subjects (like tons of food waste), we wrote the simplest tips.

SIMPLE TIPS Even the most complicated things (like tons of food waste) are boiled down to the simplest facts.

Public Pledges

Promising publicly makes people feel accountable, so pledges are sharable to social.

MAKE A PLEDGE People are encouraged to stay accountable with pledges that they can share on social, to prompt even more people to make a plan.

TRACKABLE PROGRESS
