EcoLens 🌍 — Scan Any Object, Discover Its Carbon Impact (Built for Haiti & Resource-Limited Environments)

Developers built EcoLens, a web app that estimates the carbon impact of photos of objects, food, vehicles, or devices.

The app uses a React frontend, an ASP.NET Core backend, and AI models routed through OpenRouter to avoid geographic access limits and improve reliability.

EcoLens is tailored for resource-limited regions like Haiti, offering practical eco advice instead of suggestions that may not exist locally.

The project shows how AI sustainability tools can be localized for the Global South and made more accessible in real-world settings.
