Carbon Diet Plan Facebook Application

July 30th, 2007 Alex

I go to networking events every week and every so often I will have interesting conversations with others about being environmental. In the web 2.0 and startup webisphere, there is not that many applications that are environment specific. Hopefully I can think of a startup idea that can combine web 2.0 with one but if anyone has ideas, let me know. An entrepreneur I met named Flora Sun created a facebook application that encourages you and your friends to reduce carbon emissions from your lifestyle. The application has a list of activities that people can do in their daily routine that can be more beneficial to the environment. The application is a mini carbon footprint calculator that will show how much CO2 you have saved and will also list how much your friends have saved. Considering how popular Facebook is, this can be a good way to promote to your friends to participate in the activities listed in the application. It also allows you to suggest activities that can be added to the Carbon Diet Plan.
