Track Your Carbon Footprint With Ecobot

ECOBOT

Everyone has a different theory on the best ways to be green and environment-friendly, but it's hard to know where to start until you know how energy-efficient you already are. It's fairly easy to figure out the carbon footprint of, say, your car, but what about smaller things like your computer or paper usage?

ECOBOT is a free, open source Adobe AIR application that watches your fuel, paper, and power consumption to help you determine where you're having the most negative impact on the environment and what you're doing right.

The development team behind ?toil? is building a desktop interface that aims to stand that idea on its head and let users create workflows that work best for them.

The GNUstep-based environment is built with lightweight and modular components that allow users to combine project- and document-oriented activities (or, services, as the ?toil? team calls them) more easily.
