"Ecology Calculators" Can Make a Difference

 https://www.omnicalculator.com/ecology

Several PhD candidates came up with this series of unique "calculators", meaning algorithms.  The broad categories are:  eco footprint, renewable energy, and other.  So, for example, under "eco footprint" one of the calculators is "flight carbon footprint".  Another is "cryptocurrency footprint, and another is "tree benefit".  You plug in some specific numbers, and they calculate the benefit or damage.

Under "other", here are only a few of the calculators:  "Shannon diversity index", "fish mercury", and "tap water".  In all the broad categories, these are easy to use and quite interesting.

Tools like the ones above are helpful in revealing both our positive and negative impacts on the ecosphere.  Sometimes such impacts simply are not readily apparent.  I hope you will spread these far and wide.  Thanks.

At universities and in government halls around the world, and especially in the USA and Israel, free speech is being egregiously suppressed ...
