Everything we do has an effect on the planet. Research shows that we’re causing devastating damage to the planet by releasing extravagant amounts of CO2 gas into the atmosphere. The only way to jump-start the solution is to take matters into your own hands.
Carbon is a good start! Our aim is to inform and inspire people to minimize the carbon emissions caused by their energy use. You might not see it, but thousands of pounds of CO2 are being released into the air when you use energy in your home, or drive your car to work every day.
ALGORITHM
Our algorithm asks you some questions about your energy lifestyle and gives you a unique Carbon Score.
It determines which power plants your energy comes from and identifies how much CO2 they produce.
It also knows how much CO2 your car produces, so it tallies those up to give you a good idea of how much CO2 your energy use produces.
SHARE
You can share your Carbon score with your Facebook friends to see how you rank amongst your peers.
Challenge yourself to get as close to zero carbon emissions as possible.
IMPROVE
You can always recalculate your score after you’ve made significant changes to your lifestyle. Your Carbon Score will change significantly if you lower your electricity consumption, move to a different house, add solar panels to your home, switch to an electric/hybrid car, or start using public transport more often!
We have a lot more features coming soon so stay tuned :)
