What is the Enviro Application?

Thanks for stopping by Best Facebook Applications. To get the latest reviews and news on Facebook Applications, subscribe to my RSS feed through your reader or byemail.

The Enviro Application allows users to show their friends what actions they are taking to better the environment. It asks the question “What are you doing for the environment?” and gives a variety of answers you can check such as: I carpool, I bought a hybrid car, or I re-use my shopping bags. Besides showing your friends what you are doing to better Mother Earth, it also gives statistical feedback on “What we are good at” and “What needs some work”. The sole purpose behind the Enviro Application is to promote social responsibility through our actions and our friend’s actions as well.

Enviro Pros

• Promotes environment-friendly actions by letting your friends know what you are doing FOR the environment.
• Allows you to see, by percentage, what is and isn’t being done for the environment.
• Layout is simple and clean.

Enviro Cons

• Limited number of options to select from the “What are you doing for the Environment? list.”
• No friend invite capabilities.
• Other than showing your friends how green you are, there isn’t much you can do with this application.

I think this application has some great potential as far as promoting social responsibility. When you look at a friend’s profile and notice that they are air-drying their clothes instead of using a dryer appliance or even something as little as turning off the water when they brush their teeth, it sends the message: if they can do it, why don’t I?

People who download this application might be turned off by the limited capabilities and options, but I don’t think that is what the developers had in mind when they set out to make this application. There is only one reason for this application and that is to promote social responsibility to your friends through your actions. Let’s face it, we now live in a world where being seen as green or eco-friendly is not only progressive, but desirable.
