Carbon Savings helps individuals to determine which conservation products are right for them. The organization creates easy-to-use calculators that quantify the financial and environmental savings of a product. In many ways, the calculators act as decision-making tools for the user. To support the organization, customized versions of the calculators are licensed to companies as communication tools, which are placed online beside the products being sold. The licensing model enables merchants to remove the upfront risk associated with development costs and avoid ongoing maintenance expenses.
