Hearing Kaavya speak about how technology can be used to address Climate Change left Bhumi in awe of the little child genius. She said to Kaavya, “You have really inspired me today. When I speak to young climate warriors like you, I feel like there is still a lot of hope. This is a tough journey, a long journey but we are on the right path. I really hope that our conversation inspires a lot more young talent to come forward and contribute to the cause.”
Amongst all these scenes of destruction and suffering, what really gave me hope was all the kinds of innovations happening in India and all over the world that were helping tackle the problems like global warming and climate change. These really made me believe in the power of technology to change our lives and change our planet and they inspired me to use technology to empower common people to do their bit for climate change.”
Thoroughly moved by Kaavya’s plans for the future and her passion for saving the environment, Bhumi also made an appeal to people to join her in creating awareness about Climate Change by saying, “Every small little action of what we do is going to have a consequence and living a sustainable life is exactly that: being aware of the damage that your actions are going to cause and then taking the higher road. I hope more young people get inspired by the work being done by young climate warriors like Kaavya and do whatever they can to help save our planet.”
Kaavya Majumder, as part of a project at WhiteHat Jr, where she is learning to code, developed ‘Nudge’ - an app based on nudge theory in behavioral economics, which leverages positive reinforcement and indirect suggestions as ways to influence the behavior and decision-making of individuals. All daily challenges in this app are carefully chosen to help users save natural resources; promote reuse and recycling of materials as well as healthy living and manage food waste. Moreover, each challenge includes a link that can help users explore further about that particular topic. Users also earn points and get to compare their results with other players using the leaderboard feature of the app.
