CarbonDie – Reveal. Track. Reduce. The Unseen Carbon.

Abstract

Climate change is no longer a distant threat—it's fueled daily by personal lifestyle choices such as commuting methods, electricity usage, and waste disposal. While these individual actions may seem trivial, collectively, they contribute substantially to the planet’s carbon emissions. Yet, most people have no clear method to assess or comprehend the environmental impact of their routines. To address this challenge, we developed Carbon Die – The Unseen Carbon, a next-gen tool that leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Augmented Reality (AR) to provide users with real-time, visual insights into their carbon emissions. By analyzing daily behaviors, the system delivers a tailored estimate of one’s carbon footprint and offers achievable strategies for reduction—often enabling users to cut down 2 to 5 tons of CO₂ per year. Beyond individual benefit, the platform aligns with national goals like the Bharat Zero Emission Challenge 2030, encouraging adoption of eco-friendly and locally produced goods under the Make in Bharat movement. Initial testing shows that the platform is user-friendly and highly adaptable, making climate-conscious living more accessible and actionable for everyone.
