The browser extension does a good job of making people aware about the Carbon Footprint while searching for directions on map services. The mobile application should take this one step further. It should not only spread awareness but also help users in reducing their carbon footprint. I am proposing an application along the lines of Google Fit to track user’s carbon footprint. The app would allow the user to effortlessly track his movement. See real-time stats for your commute. The app would record the mode of transportation, distance travelled, speed, etc. and provide estimations regarding CO2 emissions. The app would allow the user to set personalised goals based on a mode of transportation or carbon footprint. The app would also suggest recommendations to achieve the set goals.
