What is @cometweb/carbon-badge?
It is an npm package that adds a lightweight badge to your UI, surfacing an approximate carbon footprint for the current page. It is aimed at teams who want transparency without running a separate audit tool on every deploy.
Ecology and the web
Digital products consume energy end to end: devices, networks, and data centres. Publishing a footprint estimate is one way to make that cost visible and to align product decisions with efficiency work you may already be doing (caching, image formats, lean JS). For a concise editorial take, see the ecology insight on Cometweb — it frames sustainability in a web context without reducing the topic to marketing claims.
Install and use
Follow the README on npm for framework-specific notes. Treat the number as an estimate: methodology and hosting assumptions affect results. Pair the badge with real performance work (Core Web Vitals, asset weight, green hosting) rather than treating the label alone as a goal.
