About Actionables
We call our search results "Actionables". This is because the solutions and pollutions may not only be products, but they can be services, job opportunities, individual people, whole companies or institutions, a section of open land, and more.
When you see the list of actionables in the Search Results Icon, you can click on any one actionable to see more detailed information, and a button for a web link to take that action.
The tool can be used daily, weekly, or monthly, as you need various things. The tool can be used to act on short, medium and long-term environmental improvements other than products as well, such as finding verified employment, volunteering, and donation opportunities.
Gathering of Information
Portal System:
At this time, we are gathering data by virtual hand, conducting due diligence, and managing the research behind each solution and pollution via portal.greentool.org.
In order to join the portal and begin editing solutions and pollutions information, you will need to apply to a volunteering position with Greenest Inc.
Users who do not wish to officially conduct research, business analysis, and scientific evaluation, may submit recommended businesses, products and services for review by our analyst volunteers by filling out the web form here: www.greenest.org/review-request
Search Engine Results and Our Approach
At this time, greentool.org search results priority of each solution is manually set, using the best knowledge currently available to us. The results priority of any one particular solution or pollution will never be influenced by financial gain to the organization nor any of our employees nor volunteers.
The more donors, volunteers, programmers and citizen scientists contribute to the platform, the closer we will be to having a supervised machine learning scoring engine and supervised learning model.
