SLOWGRUB – THE APP THAT’S CHANGING THE WAY WE EAT
The world is boiling and there’s nothing we can do about it… or can we? The food we eat accounts for 25% of the world’s global greenhouse emissions - one of the largest contributors to climate change. And, many people, while they’d like to change their eating habits, just don’t know where to start.
That’s where SlowGrub comes in.
SlowGrub is an app which helps you make more sustainable food choices. It provides information about the CO2 emissions of different food and recipes, as well as helping you find local, seasonal, and ethical restaurants and grocery stores.
How does it work?
Users can use SlowGrub to assess and analyse their daily food, helping them make swaps and choices which have less impact on the environment. The app shows the positive impact you’ve made through your choices – turning sustainable dining into a measurable and rewarding experience. There’s also daily quizzes and myth-busting articles to help build knowledge and understanding around sustainable eating.
Users can search for local, sustainable restaurants with good environmental credentials. Each restaurant on the app is given a «Grub Score» which looks at the number of plant-based options they offer, whether they offer seasonal food, or if they have methods in place to avoid food waste. Users can also leave a sustainability review for restaurants they visit, inspiring others to make responsible choices.
Why we need your support
By supporting the SlowGrub team, you can help us making sustainable dining a reality. We need your help to finalise the development of the app and launch it to the public. Your contributions will help us:
• Hire more developers and speed up our development process • Work with more restaurants and get them signed up to the app • Conduct user testing to make sure our app does everything it needs to • Market the app and raise awareness of sustainable eating
By making small changes to our food choices, we can make a big difference in the fight against climate change. Join us!
