The growing climate crisis is affecting everyone globally but is not talked about enough. Thus, Carbonsaurus, an iOS app, is a way for people to stay aware of climate change and understand their own carbon emissions on a day-to-day basis.
In Carbonsaurus, your virtual pet dinosaur will help you log your daily carbon emissions in a diary, browse the news and learn more about climate change through the use of quizzes and useful breakdowns. However, your dino really doesn't like it when you use a lot of carbon, and is very prone to mood swings! You must keep your dino happy through accumulating dino points, which you can then use to customize your dinosaur, including accessories and backgrounds.Â
Originally a hackathon project, Carbonsaurus is the culmination of the efforts of university students to promote climate awareness.
