New iPad App Makes it Easy to Track Your Carbon Footprint and Go Eco – Download Verde L3C’s New App on June 20, 2012
CHICAGO, IL, June 20, 2012 – Pledged to go green on
Earth Day? Going green may seem like an overwhelming task; however, it
doesn’t mean making radical changes to your everyday routine.
Implementing a number of small changes into your life can make a
positive world of difference to our planet. Now, you can go green
without being flooded with endless information or suggestions by simply
downloading Verde on your iPad!
Verde, the new app for iPad, is a great tool that helps you monitor,
conserve, reduce, and thus, minimize your carbon footprint. At normal
retail price of just $4.99, the app not only performs an energy audit
in your home, it reveals how to save at least $200 each year in energy
efficiency upgrades. It also offers the option to integrate your
Facebook and Twitter accounts with the app.
In a special cross promotion, the Verde iPad app will be free for one
day on June 20th, 2012, thanks to a sponsorship by Reynolds Power – a
Chicago based energy company committed to energy efficiency. After
downloading the free iPad app on June 20, consumers can use Reynolds
Power to reduce the rate they pay for electricity as well.
Requiring iOS 5 or later, the slick app reinforces positive change in
its users by demonstrating how much specific appliances cost to run
annually, in addition to the impact their energy usage has on the
environment. The iPad’s built-in GPS helps the app determine your
current electricity rate based on your location.
Verde educates its users on the money and carbon that can be saved by
simply upgrading older appliances. Users also learn how simple
behavioral changes, like hibernating a computer, turning off unused
lights, notching the thermostat down one degree or running your air
conditioning less can lead to significant savings.
The green app offered by Verde Sustainable Solutions, L3C, has an
opt-in automated energy cost finder that looks at your entire home to
make recommendations to help you save. Whether suggesting product
upgrades or new products entirely, Verde is an educational tool
dedicated to helping its users make better decisions for their
pocketbooks and our planet.
