The Carbon Diet goes to Ireland

Well, OK, we're not actually going to Ireland, but we do now have data for Ireland in there, so if you've been waiting for that, then your time has come!

Apologies if it's been a bit quiet on the development front this last year - having a child seems to have wiped out all my time, somehow :)

However, there have been some minor updates happening quietly. If you have a CurrentCost electricity monitor, I've written some software to upload the data into the Carbon Diet, which is pretty cool - it's still in development, but contact me if you want to have a go.

Also, I've started rearranging the site to a more modern code layout. The first area to be affected is flights. You shouldn't notice much of a difference, apart from the added bonus that now you get a nice map of your flights, with line thickness showing carbon impact. This is part of a expansion of the analysis tools that I am trying to do, which will add things like individual analysis graphs for each account type, which should be useful for looking at things in detail.

Canada & Australia

After repeated requests on our Facebook group (join us, if you're a Facebook user), we've added data for Canada and Australia. It'd be hard to find two countries more different - Canada generates well over half of it's electricity from renewable sources like Hydroelectricity, whereas almost 90% of Australia's comes from coal! Unfortunately, this means that if you're in Australia, your electricity is going to have a much larger carbon footprint! At least now you have the Carbon Diet, you can start to cut that footprint down :)
