EcoCRED is a sustainability platform aimed at empowering people to do more for the planet. Through its mobile application, EcoCRED estimates users’ daily carbon footprint based on data they input relating to where they live, how they commute, their heating and air conditioning habits, and the type of vehicle they drive. In the weeks prior to this announcement, functionality and data of EcoCRED was expanded to customize the application for residents of Prince George’s County.

This Pilot Project is aimed at advancing the mission of the Department of Parks and Recreation to conserve and protect the natural spaces and species in the county through sustainable practices. Residents will be able to use the EcoCRED App to track simple daily habits that have the potential to make a significant difference. Furthermore, the EcoCRED App will enable residents to measure, trace and reduce their carbon footprint and obtain carbon credits that can offset the impact on the planet and help bring powerful sustainable initiatives (like wind farms) to life. Residents of Prince George’s County will be joining over 40,000 EcoCRED members who, together, have reduced over 4,000,000 pounds of carbon emissions through their usage of the platform.

We are pleased to be part of this rollout. Supporting our planet is not an option. It is each and everyone’s duty.”
