Change Maker: A Mobile Application Featuring Peoples Empowerment in Practicing Environment Friendly Habits and Tackling Climate Change

A third-world country like Bangladesh faces a number of issues like severe air and water pollution, energy waste, greenhouse gas emissions, waste littering, and natural disasters because of a lack of appropriate environmentally friendly habits, proper awareness, and government policy. The literary works that are currently available are only for creating environmental pollution monitoring systems. An online-based solution that empowers people to adopt eco-friendly behaviors, reduce pollution and energy waste, and address climate change issues is lacking in previous works. In order to address these issues, this paper proposes an eco-friendly and people-empowerment-aware mobile application that includes features such as green solutions for energy misuse, pollution, and waste management, green blogs, green event notifications such as seminars and programs, and users environment friendly status checking by answering questions about energy use, waste disposal, sanitation, and pollution events. The application allows users to donate to those impacted by climate change and includes rating and review features. According to user experience results, the proposed application met the needs of at least 74% users in terms of usability, design, and superior quality compared to existing schemes.
