Sustainable Westchester has partnered with CURE100 to provide their Carbon Tracker app to municipalities and residents across Westchester County. This free tool, accessible on any web-enabled device, enables users to estimate their household carbon emissions and offers insights on how to reduce their environmental footprint.

The app breaks down carbon emissions into six categories: transportation, heating, electricity, food and waste, goods and services, and zip code overhead. Users answer a few questions in each category, and the app provides a summary of their household’s emissions. It also allows individuals to track the impact of past, present and future changes, such as switching to electric vehicles or altering their diets.

“What sets the Carbon Tracker apart is its ability to compare a user’s carbon footprint to the average emissions of households within the same zip code,” shares CURE100 Board Director Anjali Sauthoff. “In addition, it will group all users who access the app through Sustainable Westchester’s portal and measure the collective impact of an entire county’s reductions.”

Through its innovative programming, extensive relationships and effective advocacy, Sustainable Westchester has been at the forefront of regional and statewide efforts to achieve a clean energy transition, conserve natural resources and promote environmental justice. “This partnership with CURE100 supports our shared mission of advancing a sustainable region and world,” affirms Sustainable Westchester’s Executive Director Noam Bramson.
