Personal Carbon Footprint Wallet A "carbon debit card" that monitors the carbon footprint of each purchase you make (food, transport, shopping, energy bills) and provides real-time insights + rewards. How it works: Links to your bank/UPI transactions. Utilizes AI + product databases to estimate carbon emissions per transaction. Shows a "carbon balance" like a bank balance. Rewards customers with discounts/credits as they remain under specific thresholds. Capability to offset directly through certified green projects. Why it's special: Transfers climate responsibility from intangible "awareness" to quantifiable daily actions. Provides a gamified, competitive element ("I reduced my weekly carbon footprint by 12%!"). Bank-, fintech-, even government-level scalable. Real-world impact: Enables people to make informed decisions. Offers businesses customer sustainability insights. Directly contributes to net-zero.

Linking financial transactions with carbon tracking adds real value.
Gamifying sustainability can truly motivate behavior change.
Would love to see this integrated with major banks and fintech apps!
