EcoHabit

Inspiration

We wanted to create something meaningful that makes sustainability part of people’s everyday lives. Big changes start with small actions—so we asked: what if those actions became habits, and those habits became social?

What it does

EcoHabit gives users a daily eco-friendly task like “Skip single-use plastics today.” Users complete the task and post a photo + note. They earn leaf points, unlock digital badges, and inspire others. Actions can spark chains of behavior across the community.

How we built it

We built EcoHabit using modern frontend frameworks for responsive UI and smooth user interactions. The app includes task generation logic, post creation with media upload, profile tracking, and gamified reward systems. Social interaction features were added to drive engagement.

Challenges we ran into

Balancing simplicity with meaningful features

Building a task system that feels fresh each day

Accomplishments that we're proud of
