Making any kind of impact on the major environmental issues of our time might seem like an impossible task but, as any expert will tell you, the ripple effect of small changes can soon turn into a wave of positive action.

Dots.eco allows individuals, businesses, and app developers to make meaningful contributions to eco-projects – from tree-planting initiatives to removing plastic waste from the oceans. The platform, which has been recently featured on Yahoo, Venture Beat, and Benzinga, is committed to helping you mobilize your environmental beliefs and turn ideology into measurable activism.

Dots.eco's casual eco-impact model transforms actions such as writing reviews, gaming achievements, or attending events into practical support for a host of sustainability projects. Participants receive personalized, shareable certificates to mark their contributions.

All of this is achieved through partnerships with organizations like the National Trust for Nature Conservation, the Coral Reef Alliance, Arbor Day Foundation, WeForest, and Vital Ground.

A spokesperson explains, “Take an action desired by a brand like reaching a milestone in a game or placing an order. As a sign of gratitude, the brand will sponsor an eco-impact on your behalf. Learn about the project you supported and track its progress.”

If you're a business user, you'll enjoy easy integration features with options for REST API, SDKs, and manual uploads, making adoption swift and simple.

The company is reaching out to game developers across the US who wish to incorporate the Dots.eco casual eco-impact model within their products. Gaming companies have reported significant boosts to their KPIs and a positive impact on social channels too.

Dana Mueller of SciPlay says, “Discovering such a unique way to engage our players and give back to our environment by planting a substantial amount of trees was a win-win for us.”

All partner organizations provide regular reports. Tracking features, bolstered by advanced monitoring technology and AI, help maintain transparency and accountability at every stage. These can include images from project sites, surveys, and financial reports.

Since its inception, Dots.eco has helped plant over 1.3 million trees, protect over 6.8 million acres of wildlife habitat, and remove 769,000 lbs of ocean-bound plastic. Want to play your part?

Karsten Hirsch, co-founder of partner organization Plastic Fischer, says, “I love the model of connecting the virtual world with real-life impact. Investing game players' earned benefits into clean rivers and oceans or other environmental and social causes could literally be a game changer.”

Other partners include Green Worms, SEE Turtles, and One Tree Planted.

Make all those small actions count for something. Protect the planet with Dots.eco!
