Join us for a live demonstration of Carbon Tracker App, an online tool to help you find ways to reduce your carbon footprint, improve your health, and save money.
Our carbon emissions can only be reduced by our thoughtful personal choices.
However, we cannot reduce our carbon footprint unless we measure it accurately. The app does this by:
Providing a framework to measure carbon footprint and track improvements over time.
Dispelling myths about the carbon savings of various measures; allowing us to focus on the biggest hitters.
Planting seeds in our minds for the time when big purchasing decisions present themselves (e.g., furnace replacement or car replacement).
Allowing us to track the overall progress of our community towards the goal of 5% reduction of emissions per year.
Giving us a scalable and replicable platform to track emissions reductions in any zip code in the United States.
In this presentation you see how the Carbon Tracker App collects data about your carbon usage, compares your emissions with those of others in your area (Zip Code), and helps you identify where you are doing well and where you may want to improve.
Following the demonstration, HeatSmart Branford will describe their program to encourage homeowners in Branford to adopt of energy and money saving, low emission heat pump systems to heat and cool homes and rooftop solar to generate electricity.
