Going Green at Osaka Expo: New App Makes Reducing Your Carbon Footprint Fun
The 2025 Osaka Expo has released an app that gamifies reducing your carbon footprint. Users can engage in eco-friendly activities to earn points and win prizes.
On March 7, organizers of the 2025 Osaka Expo officially launched the EXPO Green Challenge App. Aiming to encourage people to reduce their carbon footprint, the app allows users to earn points for eco-friendly actions. Donating used cooking oil and carrying personal water bottles instead of buying plastic are among the actions worth points.
But the app does more than just track users' contributions to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Users can apply points to enter draws for prizes like tree saplings and portable solar chargers.
The interactive app is designed to reduce CO2 emissions associated with the Expo based on users' efforts. A reduction in carbon emissions equivalent of approximately 57,000 tons is the overarching goal. This is the equivalent of the anticipated 28.2 million Expo visitors traveling from JR Osaka Station to the Expo venue in Yumeshima by car.
