Human behavior has had a great impact on our earth, causing several ecological problems, where carbon dioxide emissions represent one of the main causes. From using a car for travel, to eating meat and dairy products, every choice and activity in our modern society carries its own carbon emissions.
Do you want to offset these emissions? We show you a few applications to calculate your personal carbon footprint and see how you can reduce it.
United Nations Environmental
The UN has its own carbon footprint application. You just have to enter the relevant data they ask for and it will show you what it equates to in terms of replanting required in a particular ecosystem. So if you were wondering how much an Amazon rainforest needs to replenish itself to make up for that last drive on vacation, this is the app for you.
Map My Emissions
What difference is there in the carbon footprint if we make the daily commute by public transport instead of in private? Map My Emissions shows us. The web application uses Google Maps, so we just have to write the starting point and the destination, choose if we are driving, walking, cycling or using public transport and the app will calculate the carbon emissions of the trip, along with the social cost of your decision . A handy traffic sign icon shows if we are in the red, yellow or green carbon zone.
