Super cool concept - congrats on the launch! I'm curious if you plan to show the user how you arrived at the carbon footprint for a particular item?

@sirgreg Thanks for your kind words!! Hmm that sounds like a good idea, right now, we calculate the CO2 based off of the product category and check it with a database of over 400 categories to make sure the calculation is accurate. But yeah I agree it's kind of behind the scenes, we'll work on that!

Amazing product! and based on the previous comments, your product's impact is immediate with an exponential snwoball effect. Before I try it, I would appreciate ?makers if you could clarify how if your product works for consumers based in europe ordering on european-based online platform for delivery in europe?

Amazing idea! I love the simplicity of the UI and the purpose behind it. It's also a great way to address green washing in marketing/labels. In a later version, it would be great to have a recommendation/comparison feature suggesting to users less CO2-heavy products. ?makers anything like that already on your roadmap?

@michelgagnon1 Thanks Michel! Appreciate the kind words. 🙏 Yes, we've recently launched a Neutral Label feature that identifies products produced by B Corporations. We hope to expand this in the future to include locally-made products and more, as well as recommending these products as alternatives to the user!

I used to order stuff on Amazon all the time - literally anything I needed I just got on Amazon. Then I downloaded neutral as I was about to click order on my cart the neutral extension popped up and showed me the environmental impact of what I was about to order. After seeing those results I thought twice about going through with that order - instead I either decided I didn't need it or went to a local store and picked up what I needed instead. Download this app if you want to become more conscious of your online ordering! (And save some money too)

Out of curiosity, what database are you using for the calculations? I ask only because there seems to be a million of them out there. I'm sure they all have their faults but I would think users would want this level of transparency?

I've been looking for this, and was considering building something similar myself, but I'm happy to see it executed so beautifully. Amazon shopping will never be the same and I'm excited to see where this goes. Maybe one day we'll see a pollution price tag on every product.

@forddavis Thanks so much for the kind words! Big surprise that free shipping isn't actually free, it's unfortunately the environment that pays. More websites should make clear their environmental impact but instead that's what Neutral is here to do! :)

Everything always comes with a cost. Really obvious in hindsight, but before using Neutral, I had no idea how much of an impact the convenience of Amazon 2 day shipping was having on the earth. Found Neutral from the Mozilla Builders MVP Lab and the amount of carbon footprint I had just by shopping on Amazon blew me away. As the world is changing and global warming is increasing, we all need to do our part to try to keep carbon emissions as low as possible! With Neutral, we can now see that.
