A carbon footprint tracker helps to reduce carbon emissions from daily activities.

Inspiration

Climate change is altering our planet, causing extreme weather events like tropical storms, wildfires, severe droughts, and heatwaves, negatively affecting crop production, causing disruption to animals' natural habitats, and more. Because the emission of greenhouse gases is the main perpetrator that causes global warming (and therefore climate change), it's important to understand how carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions affect the environment. After all, if we don't understand the impact of carbon emissions, then how can we change what we're doing and save the planet?

So we build this to reduce carbon emission.
