🌳 Feature Detail
Tree Gamification
Every time you log food, eat it instead of wasting it, or simply check in daily, you earn progress towards planting real mangrove trees.
Why it helps
- Incentivizes positive behavior to reduce food waste.
- Contributes to real-world environmental impact via mangrove planting.
- Helps build a daily habit of checking your inventory.
Typical flow
- 1) Perform actions
Log food (+0.5%), eat saved food (+3%), or just check in (+1%).
- 2) Watch it grow
The virtual tree progresses through stages: Seed, Sprout, Seedling, Sapling, to Mature Tree.
- 3) Plant a real tree
When reaching 100%, progress resets and a real mangrove tree is planted automatically.
Benefits of Mangroves
- Coastal Protection against storms and erosion
- Absorbs up to 4x more carbon than tropical rainforests
- Provides essential nursery habitats for marine life
