With we:offset, Nokia is enabling consumers to help fund projects that reduce or avoid greenhouse gases caused by human activities such as travel. This application is the world’s first CO2 emission offsetting tool on phones. My first thought was, “so what exactly does it do?” but I only understood after installing the application.

Calculate your emissions.

We:offset can be useful for frequent travelers who are concerned about global warming and want to do their bit for the environment. It calculates the CO2 emissions caused by your travels, by either entering your destinations with airport codes, or by letting the application automatically detect location data for flight movement. It then translates the emission into the amount of money you can donate to the project and even lets you send the money directly from the phone.

Donate money to offset your CO2 emissions

I have not tried out the trip detection yet, but it would be interesting to test. If you are reading this and will be flying soon, please let me know how we:offset works and displays this feature. we:offset is free to download.
