Oroeco

Oroeco is creating a fun, easy and rewarding way to align your personal values with your everyday life.

This page is a forum for the intersection of technology and personal sustainability. Share your ideas here, and check out oroeco.org for more info! Oroeco is founded on the premise that it should be easy, fun, and rewarding to track how our everyday purchases, investments, and lifestyle decisions link up to our core values. We started as a group of friends, frustrated by the lack of information ou

t there to help us sort out small improvements from big decisions. We didn't want to be activists or full-time volunteers for a cause, we just wanted to vote with our wallets and how we lived our lives. And we wanted to find fun ways to get our friends, family, and big companies to do the same. So with Oroeco we're creating a way to add everything up. The Oroeco tools will allow you to cut through marketing hype and dynamically track the impacts that you care about based on real data, get personalized suggestions for how you can do more good with less money, and engage in some constructive competition with friends, family, coworkers, and other communities. When you use Oroeco, you not only help align your lifestyle with your values, you also encourage your friends and family to do the same. The more we all use Oroeco, the more our collective wallets encourage companies to demonstrate how they're aligning their business practices with our visions for a better tomorrow.
