## What is PolarBear Footprint?

PolarBear Footprint turns the complexity of your carbon footprint into clear, actionable data — every single day.

WHY POLARBEAR?
Climate change feels abstract. Your daily choices do not. PolarBear bridges that gap by showing you exactly how your lifestyle translates into CO2 emissions, and what you can do about it.

TRACK YOUR FOOTPRINT
Calculate your personal CO2 emissions across 5 key categories:
- Transport: car, train, bus, metro, flights, cycling
- Food: dietary habits, meat frequency, food choices
- Home energy: electricity, gas, renewable sources
- Shopping: purchases and services (EXIOBASE methodology)
- Daily variations: one-off events that affect your footprint

SET YOUR BASELINE
Build your personal emission profile once. PolarBear calculates your daily impact automatically — no manual entry every day.

DAILY CHECK-IN
Log your day in seconds. See how today compares to your baseline. Track streaks, improvements, and weekly trends.

AI-POWERED ADVICE
Get personalized suggestions based on your actual data — not generic tips. Understand which category has the biggest impact and where to focus.

GOALS AND ACHIEVEMENTS
Set reduction targets aligned with IPCC climate pathways. Unlock achievements as you reduce your impact and build sustainable habits.

WEEKLY REPORTS
Visualize your progress over time with detailed breakdowns. Export your data to Excel for deeper analysis or ESG reporting.

COMMUNITY IMPACT

PRIVACY FIRST
No account required. Your data stays on your device. We use only anonymous, aggregated analytics — zero personal profiling.
