3DegreesInc.com/Carbon_Calculator - Carbon Calculator

3Degrees is a site that focuses on protecting the environment by supporting clean energy and carbon reducing projects. The name comes from the scientific projection that in 2100 the earth’s temperature will rise by 3 degrees Celsius which will cause huge environmental issues that will affect society. 3Degrees is a great site to visit and educate yourself on the impacts of pollution and ways in which you can reduce your negative contribution. You can visit all of the different educational section of the site to learn more and you can use the carbon calculators to give a donation which will support the clean air projects. The homepage features three different carbon calculators: the green gift, personal footprint, and the express. All three calculators are similar they take into consideration the three major contributions to energy use: home electricity, car travel, and air travel. For each of the three sections there are four options ranging from least use to most. For example for home electricity section has the options: apartment, small home, medium home, and large home. When you click on the option that reflects your life style the cost is added to the calculator. Once you have gone through the three options you have a total cost which you can donate to 3Degrees. 3Degrees is a great idea and it gives users an idea of how much we waste and the effects of our actions. Do your part and balance your footprint.

  Why it might be a killer  

3Degrees is a great site. It is good to see so many new environmental sites that focus on making a change and arousing awareness. Having the carbon calculators on the homepage is a great way to get users to donate and participate in the site. The calculators grab users’ attention and they have a good amount of options for category. The knowledge center is an informative section which really helps users understands what they are doing and how to support clean energy.

  Some questions  

An introductory/environmental video would be a great addition to the site. Can users suggest other clean energy projects to be supported?
