Tracking Carbon

Article

A British student has invented a way for people to track their own carbon footprint through their mobile phone. The Carbon Hero, designed by Royal College of Art graduate Andreas Zachariah, is a personal carbon calculator and works by tracking a person through their phone signal every time they go on a journey. This then allows the device to work out the method of transport the user is on, and from that calculate the amount of carbon dioxide going into the air as a result.
