The Opportunity

Problem

Remote workers in climatetech can't trust their carbon footprint trackers because they fail to accurately log hybrid work commutes and home office energy use.

It syncs with Google Calendar and phone location for seamless tracking without manual entry. Users get verified footprints shareable with employers for green cred.
