CO2GO is the first smartphone app that allows users to calculate their carbon emissions automatically, say its makers.
It automatically detects the mode of transportation, tracks distance covered and, using smartphone sensors, like the accelerometer and GPS, deploys an algorithm to calculate the user's carbon emissions.
