If you need a clear report on the impact of your carbon footprint and its evolution for your final reports, you are in the right place.
We all know it’s everywhere. It is now that, as humanity, we have to unite to face this challenge that is the ecological impact of our activities on planet earth.
CO2 emissions have multiplied and have consequences. It is a gas that contributes to global warming, although it is not the only one. Other natural gases (methane, nitrous oxide) or man-made gases (fluorinated gases) also form part of the so-called greenhouse gases (GHG).
If we do not stop it, rising sea levels will affect large cities around the world and displace hundreds of millions of people, we will see heat waves so intense that parts of the planet will become uninhabitable and there will be migrations that will destabilize a planet already afflicted with problems.
But… What Exactly Is A Carbon Footprint?
The carbon footprint can be defined as an environmental indicator that shows the total result of greenhouse gases produced directly or indirectly by an individual, a family, a company, an event, a product, a city or a country.
It is measured in mass of CO2 equivalent, whose component is: mass of gas x global warming potential.
This measurement makes it possible to detect the areas of greatest pollution that you are generating on a daily basis, through habits such as traveling by car, eating out, constantly traveling by plane, etc.
Why Calculate This Measurement?
The importance of measuring your carbon footprint lies in the fact that once calculated, you can work to reduce it or compensate it by changing your lifestyle habits such as reducing meat consumption, using your car less and looking for sustainable means of transportation, saving electricity, among other things.
To do this, you can use the Carbon API in a simple way, but you will also have in your hands the graphical information of your company’s Footprint data and you will be able to present it in any report your company needs.
Keep in mind that more and more countries and legislations are moving from voluntary to mandatory measurement, in just four years in some European countries the number of registered companies has increased by almost 1000%.
Make it simple: Carbon Api Takes Care Of It
With this friendly API you can not only calculate your footprint but it will compile the data for the whole year to present you with a graph that will clarify the matter for you.
Just go to www.trycarbonapi.com and register.
You will find it available whether you are going to call it from your web or app, as well as if you choose to use the web version of the API.

In the left menu you will go to “Your Foolprint Data”, there you will find your report, which will look like this:
if you want to integrate the carbon API you will see that it is very easy because you can find the version in different codes.
