Bring environmental awareness to your AI conversations.
🌍 ChatGPT Carbon Estimator helps you understand the environmental impact of each interaction with ChatGPT by providing real-time estimates of carbon emissions, water usage, and relatable real-world equivalents — like emails sent, kilometers driven, and even trees required to offset emissions.
Whether you're casually chatting or deeply exploring ideas with ChatGPT, this lightweight extension makes it easy to stay mindful of your digital footprint — all without interrupting your workflow.
✨ What It Does
✅ Automatically calculates carbon emissions for each ChatGPT response
✅ Shows real-time equivalents:
💧 Water consumed (in liters)
✉️ Emails sent
🚗 Car travel distance
✈️ Flight time
Google searches
✅ Tracks total emissions per session — live in your browser
✅ Displays a clean, light-blue badge right on the ChatGPT page
All estimates are based on peer-reviewed data (e.g. ~0.0003 kWh per token, 0.26 kg CO₂/kWh average EU intensity).
🔒 Privacy-Friendly by Design
This extension runs entirely in your browser.
No tracking
No data collection
No API keys required
No OpenAI account access
You see exactly what the model outputs — and we use that alone to estimate the environmental cost.
💡 Why This Matters
Generative AI models use large-scale compute resources — and energy. By visualizing the impact of your queries, ChatGPT Carbon Estimator helps raise awareness around AI sustainability, without adding friction.
It's not about guilt — it’s about informed and empowered use of the tools we love.
💬 FAQ
