As part of its sustainability initiative, Lotus Greens has launched a Green App in the form of an online calculator that can track and measure carbon footprint and suggest ways to reduce it. A carbon footprint is the measurement of carbon dioxide that one releases into the atmosphere while going about his/her daily routine. The carbon calculator can be accessed online and can also be downloaded from Google play store on an android phone.
 
The Lotus Greens carbon footprint calculator will help people to understand how different aspects of their lifestyle and consumption habits affect their personal carbon emissions. As it is all of us have a carbon footprint and add to it every day of our lives. Almost everything we do increases our footprint. But most of us may not be able to contemplate reducing or neutralising the carbon footprint that our routine activities generate.
 
By helping users to measure the amount of carbon dioxide they create in the course of performing everyday chores - commuting, driving, cooking, cooling or heating homes - the Lotus Green carbon footprint calculator will make it easier to understand and evaluate the environmental impacts of their actions. The knowledge and understanding about the impact of carbon dioxide on the environment and how humans contribute to creating it is not very high. This is in spite of the growing body of scientific evidence showing that the concentration of carbon dioxide in the environment has been increasing over the years.
