Personal Environmental Impact Report

Generate a personal environmental impact report just by downloading software onto a GPS cell phone. UCLA’s Center for Embedded Networked Sensing’s program gives users daily reports on how much smog they produced while driving and how much pollution they inhaled while walking. And since the program is social, scores can be shared and compared with friends through Facebook. See a demo or sign up for the beta test here. <more>
