Type: Chrome Browser Extension (cross-platform compatible) Function: Tracks AI usage across websites and applications, quantifies environmental cost, and provides actionable insights to reduce energy and water consumption.
Core Features:
AI Usage Monitoring
Detects when AI models or energy-intensive scripts are running in the background of websites, cloud apps, or local processes.
Tracks compute time, estimated energy usage, and water footprint (energy-to-water conversion based on data center usage).
User-Friendly Dashboard
Displays real-time environmental impact metrics: CO₂ emissions, energy usage (kWh), and water consumption (liters).
Visualizes trends over time (daily, weekly, monthly).
Actionable Recommendations
Suggests ways to reduce environmental impact:
Close idle AI-heavy tabs
Adjust GPU/CPU-intensive workflows
Use more sustainable alternatives
Provides notifications when usage exceeds pre-set environmental thresholds.
Integration with EnviroCast Ecosystem
Data feeds into EnviroCast to show user contributions to global sustainability efforts.
Users can compare their personal footprint to community averages, gamifying eco-friendly behavior.
Privacy & Security
