Top Pipat, known for his dedication to eco-friendliness and the co-founder of KidKid Co., Ltd., is here to discuss his innovative app, ECOLIFE, and share some valuable tips for going green in this exclusive interview.<\/h3>\n

“We can all help our planet, starting with little things we love doing!”<\/span><\/p>\n

Top Pipat’s journey from running a simple ecoshop to establishing a social enterprise began with a desire to make a difference in environmental conservation. He mixed his love for creativity with a smart tech platform, and boom – ECOLIFE was born! For Top, ‘eco’ means looking after nature and being smart with resources. When we blend it in our lifestyle, we start caring more about our planet.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I was so super serious about being eco-friendly, and at times  it was a bit too much for some. So, I shifted to a simpler friendlier approach, and tried to make it fun.”<\/p>\n

Top even made his wedding eco-friendly! The event was held in a hotel close to public transport to cut down on car use and minimise carbon emissions. He used recycled materials for the invitations and wedding guest book. Instead of regular decorations, flowers, and customary cake cutting, the couple planted trees.<\/span><\/p>\n

From Little Beginnings to ECOLIFE<\/h1>\n

“I watched the film, ‘An Inconvenient Truth,’ about how greenhouse gases affect our climate. It was a real eye-opener. My wife and I started an ‘ECOSHOP’ to sell eco-friendly products, but we wanted to do more. So, we made this cool app to get people involved and help them to learn about living green.”<\/span><\/p>\n

ECOLIFE, launched a few years after ECOSHOP,  first focussing on getting people to walk, run, or bike instead of driving. The next version had ‘Ecomap’, a map for eco-places, and a fun game where you can help save polar bears and other animals. Users who are eco-friendly earn characters by recycling or planting trees, and they accumulate points that are redeemable for rewards and discounts.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We want ECOLIFE to be helpful, fun, and really make a difference. Stay tuned for the upcoming release of version three in mid-2024!”<\/p>\n
