Carbon Footprint Calculator


Description

Carbon Footprint Calculator is an application that allows users to calculate their individual carbon dioxide emissions into the Earth's environment. Users take quizzes about their activities and the app provides statistics about their carbon footprint. In a corporate context, it offers statistics on CO2 emission from EPAM employees' actions.

Since its launch, the application has attracted more than 6500 users from all over the world. Along with tracking personal progress, CFC gives recommendations on how to decrease the user's footprint and provides opportunities to offset it. Also, it contains an ecologically-focused news section.
