My Open Road® App Seeks Business Partners Interested In The Social Responsibility Of Saving Energy

ORANGE COUNTY, Calif., Dec. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- My Open Road® (http://myopenroad.com), an application created to encourage "social" energy conservation, has announced today the app is open to new advertising partnerships with companies interested in rewarding their customers for cutting down on carbon emissions through ride shares, carpooling, walking – even skateboarding!

"We've had the app in beta testing with a small group of companies," said Jeff Weiss, Ex-Disney Imagineer and creator of My Open Road (MOR).  "We're at a point now where we can welcome other companies looking for a cost-effective and socially responsible way to encourage people to save energy."

MOR's patent-pending mobile technology can detect a wide range of transportation mechanisms a person might use to get from point A to point B.  The app uses different travel "modes" and assigns a "social responsibility score," or, SRS, to each one.  For example, walking or running has an SRS of 1,000, while driving a car has an SRS of only 500.

Rewards kick in at certain levels.  For example, an SRS of 700 or better means free tacos at Wahoo's Fish Tacos.  Wing Lam, co-founder of Wahoo's, was an early advocate of MOR and one of its first sponsors.

"It's a positive way to reinforce behavior. With My Open Road, there are a lot of areas where we can reward people for being socially responsible and being green."

MOR's Android app has been available for the past few months, with the iOS version just weeks away from release.

"In the past year alone, the MOR app and its early adopters have already reduced CO2 emissions by over 159,000 pounds," said Weiss.  "And that's just the beginning."

My Open Road is seeking partnerships with energy conscious companies in the retail, restaurant, and hospitality industries. Advertising partnerships start at only $300 a year.  For more information, please contact Jeff Weiss at 818-943-1228.

My Open Road is a first-of-its kind social responsibility app that provides discounts through a network of businesses.  Its founders have created strategic alliances with Nevada's Clean Energy Project and The Alliance to Save Energy, among others, in an effort to save half a billion tons of CO2 emissions by the year 2020.
