Using tmrow's C02 Signal API to track electricity usage, build a browser extension so that you fit get reminder for your browser about how heavy your regiohn dem electricity usage be. Using this extension sometimes go help you make correct judgement on top your activities based on this information.

To install for Edge, use the 'three dot' menu for top right corner of the browser to find the Extensions panel. From there, select 'Load Unpacked' to load new extension. Open the 'dist' folder when e ask and the extension go load. To use am, you go need API key for CO2 Signal's API (get one here via email - put your email for the box for this page) and the code for your region wey match the Electricity Map (for Boston, for example, I dey use 'US-NEISO').
Once you input the API key and region for the extension interface, the colored dot for the browser extension bar go change to show how your region dey use energy and give you pointer on which energy-heavy activities fit beta for you to do. The idea for this 'dot' system na from the Energy Lollipop extension for California emissions.
