Personal Environmental Impact Report (PEIR), California


Reducing your carbon footprint



Nokia is collaborating with the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and GoGreen (a non-profit environmental youth organization) on the Personal Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) project. With this system users measure their own environmental footprint and learn how they can reduce it by changing their behavior.


Over 100 students and teenagers in San Francisco are currently using this service to monitor their "greenness" by tracking the carbon emissions due to their transportation choices.

The students can share their overall PEIR scores or trip logs, and many have the application running in their Facebook profile so they can use their mobiles devices to regularly update and compare their scores with friends.


These tools empowered the students to make more informed transportation choices - choices that have lead them reduce their carbon footprints by an average of 20% through the increased use of public transportation, biking, and carpooling.
