The term “carbon footprint” is used left and right, but who actually knows the size of their carbon footprint?
JouleBug founder Grant Williard didn't. His idea to create a social, mobile sustainability gaming app was born after he used numerous online carbon footprint calculators five years ago. His results weren't pretty.
