Every time I took out the trash or mowed the lawn—tasks I’m responsible for at home—I found myself thinking about how I could ensure that the waste I was disposing of would be properly recycled, or better yet, how I could prevent that waste from being created in the first place. This led me to consider how useful it would be to have a personalized list of alternative actions for the specific items I was throwing away—practical steps that could help me reduce waste in my daily life.

Instead of providing generic suggestions, the app offers a tailored list of alternative actions based on the items users search for or wish to dispose of. The goal is to help users make small, practical, and achievable changes into their everyday routines, ultimately reducing the amount of waste. By encouraging users to become green savvy and implement their personalized actions, this app hopes to gear many individuals towards a more sustainable lifestyle.
