Ecometrica successfully carried out a live carbon footprint of the launch of The Carbon Show. Held in September at London’s ExCel Centre, The Carbon Show was the first ever international exhibition dedicated to carbon.

Over the two-day exhibition, analysts from Ecometrica used iphones to collect information from visitors about their travel to the event, and were able to present each respondent with their individual footprint instantly. The running total was displayed on a big screen at the exhibition entrance, enabling attendees to see the emissions building up in real time.

Ecometrica used The Carbon Show and the Carbon Footprint Live exercise to launch and demonstrate the Our Impacts web-based greenhouse gas accounting tool. This web-based assessment service has been designed to make carrying out carbon footprints cheaper and faster, as well as giving clients greater involvement and control over the data collection process.
