Problem Statement
Climate change demands immediate personal and collective action. Yet most individuals struggle to reduce their emissions because:
Assessment Fatigue — Traditional carbon calculators require hundreds of highly specific inputs, leading to high drop-off rates.
Abstract Impact — Footprint numbers like "12 tonnes of CO₂e" feel disconnected from daily decisions.
Lack of Personalization — Generic tips like "install solar panels" ignore rent limitations, geography, or vehicle availability.
CarbonWise addresses these directly:
A 5-step lifestyle wizard with smart bill-to-kWh estimation and natural language AI autocomplete.
Abstract CO₂ numbers translated into tangibles — "equivalent to planting 34 mature trees" or "1,200 km of avoided driving".
A context-aware Gemini AI coach that parses the user's specific emissions profile and generates prioritized, personalized action plans.
A real-time slider simulator so users can preview reductions before committing to a habit change.
