My Little Plastic Footprint

I found this app from the Beat the Microbead app and was excited by the concept. However the app is difficult to use, and not very helpful. When I made my profile, it never allowed me to select anything to calculate my pmi. It automatically assigned me 100. It seems like there is no way to recalculate, so I would have to manually ‘complete’ the tasks for everything I had already done. I decided to do that. While I was doing that, I noticed that every item I selected didn’t offer much advice or alternate products; just links to lists on external websites. It would be very cool if the app had some way to narrow down these big lists and informational websites to the specific kind of product you were looking to replace. (For example, if I used dandruff shampoo, I’d want to replace it with dandruff shampoo. Not just any other shampoo.) While the lists of items in different areas of the home to replace is handy as a checklist, any practical information to help you replace them is harder to parse. I honestly think it is less frustrating and time consuming for me to just to use google. If the app is improved in its user friendliness, technical issues, and becomes able to actually make it easier to replace disposable plastic items, I would be thrilled. Until then, I’m sticking to a search engine. Rating 2 stars instead of 1 so my review has a smaller impact on the rating. I wish the developers the best of luck with the app, and I hope they can make this something great.

This app was amazing I loved this app I told all my clients about it loved to play it but then the update came and it went into the trash. It used to be an amazing game where u answer questions and clean the ocean and get to read and see study’s and fun new plastic free alternatives now it is a very sad list of this to trade out. I am trying to live a plastic free life but this app now makes it sad.

Gives very practical advise on how to change your lifestyle to a more eco-friendly one. Much fun leveling up and learning about the facts of plastics and pledging to reduce my usage.

Using this app is a fantastic way to help the environment! It reminds me of little things that I can do to reduce ocean pollution and I learn fun facts whenever I take one of the quizzes! I would highly recommend this app!

It’s fun to do the challenges and learn about the environment and helps reduce any waste. Also helps me on my zero waste journey

Good way to learn what you can do to help our plastic problem!

It’s okay… What would be nice to incorporate is a function to indicate which of all the things you suggest to tackle you already dont do. Now there are so many things listed in my plastic index that i havent “tackled” but that i will not tackle because i dont use make up, i already dont buy eggs in plastic, i dont have a child so no need for tackling pacifiers or baby bottles, i have a coil so dont use tampons or anything. Just seems like a lot of extra work to “put them on your list” and then pretend to have started using an alternative when really you just dont use it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Net app geïnstalleerd, maar kom er niet in. App vraagt om mailadres en wachtwoord, maar heb nog geen account/ wachtwoord aan kunnen maken. Als ik wachtwoord vergeten doe, gebeurt er ook niets. Ik ontvang geen mail… Erg jammer!

Na het invoeren van je naam blijft de app hangen helaas (iPad)

Great app to give you a tool to start your plastic free life!!
