Desenvolvimento de uma calculadora pessoal de pegada de carbono: conscientização para um futuro sustentável

Abstract

The increase in carbon emissions is one of the main contemporary environmental obstacles, especially in cities, where the concentration of human activity makes the problem even more complex. This work describes the development of a personal carbon footprint calculator, ac- cessed by smartphones through a mobile application. React Native, TypeScript, and Firebase were used in the development of the applications. A methodology used in this work is Scrum Solo, which provides flexible and iterative development. It is expected that the tool will raise awa- reness regarding greenhouse gas emissions and their implications for the environment. As a secondary result of the application's development, the adoption of sustainable practices is ai- med at, through the visualization and analysis of individual emissions data and gamification with anonymous comparison between users regarding greenhouse gas emissions.
