As concerns about climate change and environmental sustainability grow, understanding and mitigating our carbon footprint has become essential. The Carbon Footprint Calculator aims to simplify this process by providing an intuitive interface to calculate and manage individual or organizational carbon emissions.

• Users can input their monthly electricity consumption in kilowatt-hours (KWh).
• The calculator estimates the carbon emissions based on a predefined energy emission factor.

• Users can select their mode of transportation, including options like bike, car, public transport, or by foot.
• For vehicles, users can provide daily distance covered and fuel consumption (if applicable).
• The calculator utilizes emission factors specific to each transportation mode and fuel type to estimate emissions.

• Users can input their monthly natural gas consumption in cubic centimeters (cm³).
• The calculator estimates carbon emissions associated with natural gas usage.

• After calculating the carbon footprint, users receive recommendations to reduce their emissions.
• Tips include adopting energy-efficient habits, sustainable transportation options and eco-friendly dietary choices.

• The calculator provides a user-friendly interface with clear labels and placeholders for data input.
• Dynamic interactions guide users based on their vehicle and fuel type selections.

• The calculator offers a section explaining the limitations and variables affecting the calculations.

• Users are informed about the average emission factors and assumptions used in transportation calculations.

  Note: Keep in mind that it's just a rough estimation. The carbon footprint calculations provided for different modes of transportation, such as bikes, cars, and public transport, are based on average emission factors and assumptions. The actual carbon emissions may vary based on various factors, including the specific make and model of the vehicle, driving conditions, individual driving habits, and maintenance practices.
