Methods and systems for monitoring and recording carbon footprint data

A system for monitoring and reporting an individual's carbon footprint, the system comprising:

• an article of clothing including an embedded global positioning system (GPS) device, an accelerometer, and a transmission module, wherein the GPS device is configured to capture travel data for the individual, the accelerometer is configured to capture motion data for the individual, and the transmission module is configured to transmit the travel and motion data;
• a data collection device connected with the transmission module, the data collection device configured to collect and store the transmitted travel and motion data;
• and
• a server connected with the data collection device, the server configured to calculate the individual's carbon footprint based at least in part on the travel data and the motion data and generate a report of the individual's carbon footprint.

A machine-readable medium for monitoring and reporting an entity's carbon footprint, the machine-readable medium having sets of instructions which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:

• gather information about the entity, wherein the information includes utility information;
• equip the entity with a global positioning system (GPS) device an accelerometer, and at least one pressure sensor;
• gather utility usage data for the entity;
• capture travel data for the entity;
• calculate the entity's carbon footprint based at least in part on the utility usage data and the travel data;
• and
• generate a report of the entity's carbon footprint.
