Ecostep - A Carbon Footprint Calculator

Abstract

Increasing energy consumption and unsustainable lifestyle practices have led to higher greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change and environmental degradation. Monitoring individual carbon footprints is essential to understand personal environmental impact and encourage responsible behavior. EcoStep is a web based platform designed to help individuals calculate, monitor, and reduce their carbon footprint. The system includes a carbon footprint calculator based on daily activities such as electricity usage and transportation habits. An activity tracker displays emission data using graphs and pie charts to help users track progress over time. Users can set sustainability goals, including reducing energy consumption. EcoStep also features an eco shop promoting sustainable products and a community hub where users share experiences and encourage environmentally responsible actions. The platform supports mindful decision making and promotes sustainable living.
