The surge in transportation, rapid population growth, and industrialization has led to a notable escalation in atmospheric carbon levels. While transportation, industrialization, and technological advancements have bestowed benefits upon modern society, they concurrently pose significant concerns by contributing to carbon footprint generation. A carbon footprint serves as a metric to quantify the total greenhouse gas emissions, predominantly carbon dioxide, attributable to individuals, organizations, or activities within a specified timeframe. This metric, typically expressed in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e), underscores the environmental impact of human actions. The potential environmental impact of the digital technologies themselves. While digital management strategies offer promising avenues for carbon footprint reduction, the manufacturing, operation, and disposal of digital devices and infrastructure also contribute to carbon emissions.
