Areas of Focus
Transport
The world of travel is ever-changing and evolving, and we're not just talking abut airplanes. Transportation in all forms is a key part of our daily lives, as well as business and holiday travel, many of which have great impacts on the environment. With the increasing number of choices for reducing impacts, the opportunity to benefit from eco-conscious travel continues to grow, but so does the complexity. That's where we come in, providing an easy way for environmentally conscious consumers to reduce the carbon footprint from their travel.
Lifestyle
A sustainable lifestyle can have direct benefits such as saving money and time and increasing quality of life. It can also prepare people and communities for future environmental and resource challenges from over-use and pollution. Demystifying sustainability begins with the individual consumer, learning to adapt sustainable practices into every day life to ensure the highest quality of life both locally and globally. EarthFix wants to give you the tools you need to make smarter, cleaner, and more economical choices while lowering the impact of your lifestyle.
Shelter
The way energy and resources are consumed at home is constantly in flux, so the methods for reducing environmental impacts must adapt quickly. Whether you rent an apartment or own a large suburban home, EarthFix is here to help you anticipate the complicated landscape of clean energy and smart-home technology, as well as social and behavioral opportunities to lower the impact of your home life. Adapting homes to operate with minimal impact allows you to spend less time fixing your home and more time enjoying your time in it.
Local Investment Strategy
Development is traditionally considered to be synonymous with growth, while the underlying definition of a successful business is an ever-increasing revenue stream. As the startup and small business marketplace continues to grow, a new frontier is open for businesses to achieve a sustainable state, or one that can be maintained indefinitely. The EarthFixClub is dedicated to reinvesting in businesses that are creating a competitive advantage by meeting the standard of sustainability with local and global benefits.
Food & Water
The advancement of Human civilization would have been almost impossible without agriculture and access to clean water that supports a growing population. Today, the systems that deliver running water to our homes and food to our supermarkets is so pervasive that we can't imagine living without them. They make urban life possible, but behind the curtain are growing challenges to keep fresh water unpolluted and farmlands nutrient-rich. EarthFix is committed to directing consumers towards sustainable options.
Earthfix impact quotient (efiq)
Measuring and tracking environmental impacts such as Greenhouse Gas emissions and overconsumption is complicated, and it's even harder to understand what it all means. The EarthFix Impact Quotient is a simple calculator that helps individuals understand exactly what their impact is and how their habits, behaviors, and investments can affect or improve the environment, local community, and global economy. We are committed to creating a simple, comprehensive EFIQ score to help you make effecitve (and financially smart) choices in your daily life.
