How to Better Track Your Carbon Footprint

You may already be doing your part to save the planet. From recycling and driving electric cars to avoiding the use of plastic bottles and carrying reusable bags to the grocery store, there are ways everyone can make a difference. But it may be important to ask ourselves, “Are we doing enough?” 


If you have considered pursuing a more sustainable lifestyle, there’s an app for that! These apps help you track your carbon footprint. By tracking, you can see your environmental impact. 


Below we have detailed some of these apps and their benefits. 

Capture

Capture is an app that calculates users’ monthly CO2 targets by asking a series of questions. Sample questions include, “How many flights a year do you take?” and “What kind of diet do you follow?” Capture also utilizes GPS tracking to predict emissions from transportation. 


The app was designed to not only make planet-friendly living possible, but also to make the process easier. With Capture, users can track, reduce, and remove CO2 emissions from everyday life.


Interestingly, the app can be used alone or with colleagues. If you are a numbers person who likes measuring and tracking, Capture is for you. 

Almond 

UK-based, Almond’s mission is simple: To help as many people reach net-zero carbon emissions as possible, and in four easy steps: 


  1. Understand your carbon footprint. 
  2. Discover responsible brands.
  3. Earn offset coins when you make a switch. 
  4. Offset your carbon footprint. 


Almond allows you to scan products to learn about that item’s story and see what’s in the product (i.e., if it uses environmentally friendly materials or ingredients). Then you can earn money with crypto rewards to plant and protect trees, which offset your carbon footprint. The more you earn, the faster you can grow your forest to achieve a balanced lifestyle and reach your personal CO2 Net Zero.

Pawprint 

Pawprint empowers users to fight climate change from the palm of their hands. This online tool helps you measure, understand, and reduce your carbon footprint. 


Known as the “Eco companion,” this app delivers: 


  • Science-based data you can trust 
  • Carbon-reducing tips and challenges that suit your lifestyle 
  • Better insight into how your carbon footprint measures up to those around you. (This app is also UK-based.)


One factor that sets Pawprint apart from other carbon footprint-tracking apps is that all data is validated by an expert in the industry, Mike Berners-Lee’s Small World Consulting. 


And of course, there are plenty of other smartphone apps and tools available to better track and reduce your carbon footprint, including The Extra Mile, My Planet, and Carbon Footprint. The trick is finding the app or tool that works best for your lifestyle.

The Transparency Trap: When Sharing Too Much Undermines Leadership

By Alisa McCabe • June 15, 2026
Transparency has become a popular leadership principle in modern organizations. Many leaders believe that openness builds trust, strengthens collaboration, and encourages accountability across teams. In many cases, that instinct is correct. Problems can arise, however, when transparency becomes excessive or poorly timed. Effective financial strategies require a balance between honesty and thoughtful discretion. Sharing every concern, uncertainty, or early-stage idea can sometimes create confusion rather than clarity.  Understanding where transparency helps and where it may unintentionally harm morale allows leaders to communicate in ways that support stability, confidence, and thoughtful decision making.

From Scrappy to Strategic: Evolving Your Leadership Style as Your Company Scales

By Alisa McCabe • June 1, 2026
Many entrepreneurs begin their journey with relentless energy and determination. Early-stage companies often rely on fast decisions, constant experimentation, and founders who personally handle countless responsibilities. As companies grow, however, the same approach can begin to create friction. Teams expand, operations become more complex, and expectations shift. Effective leadership styles must evolve to match the changing needs of the organization.  Scaling a company does not mean abandoning what made a founder successful. It requires refining those strengths while developing new leadership capabilities that support sustainable growth.

The Pre Slow Season Checklist: Your Roadmap to Financial Stability

By Alisa McCabe • May 13, 2026
​Every business experiences fluctuations throughout the year. Some industries see demand surge during certain seasons and decline during others. While these cycles are common, the financial pressure that arrives during slower months can feel overwhelming without preparation. Strong small business accounting plays an essential role in navigating these shifts. When owners understand their financial position and take proactive steps before revenue dips, they gain more control over how their organization performs during quieter periods.  Preparing early creates stability. A thoughtful checklist allows entrepreneurs to review expenses, strengthen cash flow planning, and position their company to remain resilient even when sales temporarily decline.
