Olivia here, founder & CEO of Sustaio, and I am SO👏PUMPED👏 to announce the launch of Sustaio, the platform that pays you to reduce your carbon footprint, on Product Hunt! 🥳🤑 “What’s my footprint?” “How do I lessen my footprint to help combat climate change??” “How can I tell if the actions I’m taking make a difference?” These are the questions that started it all. With 78% of people in the US saying that a sustainable life is important to them – I figured other people were asking these questions too. Sustaio empowers people to live climate-smarter by quantifying & incentivizing emissions-reducing behavior; think Rakuten meets Nerdwallet for sustainable living. Sustaio gamifies real-time tracking of utility use and home efficiency actions for the everyday individual to effectively reduce their footprint within their home. All you need to get started is your online login for your utility bill. ​​ 💡Imagine—a world where you can unlock better pricing at your favorite brands by reducing your carbon footprint. Sustaio makes it easy to measure, manage, and reduce the carbon footprint of your household. We’ll even pay you for it. Start saving the planet, while saving some green. The all-new streamlined experience is easy and FREE with: Automated data tracking to show where you have reduced your footprint Earning monthly Sustaio Credits to redeem with real-world rewards 🤓 Fun Fact: Roughly 20% of US energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions stem from heating, cooling, and powering households. –PNAS We track your impact, and give you the tools you need to reduce it. Ever tried to accurately get a handle on your carbon footprint? I have. It’s complicated. Until now. Sustaio will help you quantify your footprint, and show you how to reduce it. We offer incentives to adopt more sustainable habits, gradually reducing your emissions while earning amazing rewards (and, of course, you’ll save money on your energy bill too –double whammy). Here’s how it works: JOIN: Create an account. 😀 MEASURE: Connect your utilities. 🔌 REDUCE: 👀 Check out Actions to save energy and cut your utility bills GET REWARDED: Boom! Earn rewards monthly by being more energy efficient in your home! 💰 If you have any suggestions or comments, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you all for your support, and happy hunting! 🥳

Congratulations Olivia on the launch of Sustaio! It's amazing to see a platform that incentivizes individuals to reduce their carbon footprint while also providing real-world rewards. This is a great step towards creating a more sustainable future. Can you provide more information on the types of real-world rewards that can be redeemed with Sustaio Credits?
Olivia Pedersen
@cata Thanks Nick! Our reward partners are brands like Hungryroot, PACT, Terraseed, Baloo, Flowfold, Knickey, and more. These are brands that have a sustainable mission and/or help people get outdoors.
Interesting concept - is it just a US based platform?
Olivia Pedersen
@maxwellcdavis Thanks Maxwell! As of now, yes, Sustaio can just US-based but we plan to expand soon, starting with Canada. Our carbon footprint algos use real-time data on the exact emissions factors of the users' location.

where do the funds for user rewards come from?
Olivia Pedersen
@sebastian_el Good question! That's a really cool part of this! They come from the reward partners - brands that are putting their money where their mouth is.

Sustaio is an incredible app that tackles one of the most pressing issues of our time - climate change. I was impressed with the seamless experience it offers in quantifying and incentivizing emissions-reducing behavior. The platform gamifies the real-time tracking of utility use and home efficiency action. The UX is easy to navigate, and it's easy to connect my utilities and start tracking my impact. I love that Sustaio offers incentives to adopt more sustainable habits, and of course getting rewarded. Overall, Sustaio is an innovative and necessary app that has exceeded my expectations. It empowers me to live a more sustainable life while also saving some green. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to reduce their carbon footprint and make a positive impact on the planet. Thank you, Olivia and the Sustaio team, for creating such a fantastic platform!

@samantha_intagliata thanks for the comment! Great to hear that feedback on the UX!!!

One of the biggest challenges in getting consumer adoption for positive climate behaviors is making the outcome of their actions tangible to individuals. After all, greenhouse gases are invisible to the naked eye. I love that this product helps people see their footprint and measure the actions they're taking while getting rewarded for positive behavior change.
Olivia Pedersen
@davefolk exactly! It can be super hard to know where to start, and to keep motivated to build new behaviors - with Sustaio you actually gain financial rewards as incentives 💪

Important space! I feel this is the beginning of a new world wide currency system. First carbon tokens. Then carbon credits. Congrats on the launch!

Sustaio is going to be a game changer for consumer sustainability behavior! So excited not only to use the product but promote it to our audience as well.
Congrats Olivia and the team. I've been using Sustaio for few minutes and already got ideas of how to reduce my energy consumptions. I love the action cards that is easy to read and fun to act on. The UI is clean and UX is seamless. Let's see how my experience would be once I connect my energy bills onto this. Congrats again!
