Starks saw that while carbon emissions are being measured, efforts have been haphazard at best, with no consistent standards. AMEE's “Wikipedia for carbon data” looks to become an essential tool to arm companies, organizations, governments, and individuals with a key to lowering their CO2 impact on the planet.
