I bet Al Gore will love this application. There is a bright idea behind this application: let’s start doing environmentally friendly from your phone. Called Ecorio, this application can help you to calculate your carbon footfrint and find the best option to reduce it. Two thumbs up!

According to Wikipedia, carbon footprint is a “measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide”.

Calculate your carbon footprint with Ecorio, an application for Android-powered phones. This goes to show how focused Google is on the environment as well as our impact on it, and Ecorio will rely on the G1’s GPS system to track your total carbon footprint as you move about. It is also able to provide you with ideas to reduce the impact of travel, hoping that your heart will be moved to try out greener options.
