This app made me realize I was generating CO2 while on social networks doing nothing meaningful and that I should better use my time. My "innocent leisures" weren't that ecologically friendly.

The visualization of my co2 consumption in graphical form is informative. This allowed me to clearly see the carbon impact of a 4k video versus an HD video for example.

I love the animation and the cool real-life comparisons in the history sections. I was really surprised looking through the statistics how much data and Co2 I was generating!! Easy to use tool with interesting info on the impact of our planet.
