notesKarbonowe

NotesKarbonowe is a fictional term used to describe a lightweight, human-readable system for recording and organizing notes about carbon-related data and actions. Conceived as a conceptual toolkit, it aims to support transparent documentation of carbon footprints, mitigation strategies, and policy discussions.

Origin and usage: The name blends English “notes” with Polish “karbonowe” meaning carbon-related; camelCase branding suggests a software project or data schema. In this article, notesKarbonowe is treated as an illustrative case rather than a published standard.

Structure and data model: Each note includes fields such as id, title, body, timestamp, carbon_estimate (kgCO2e), category, tags, sources, and relationships to related notes or events. The model supports modular templates to capture activity, calculation methods, and references, enabling consistent documentation across projects.

Features: The concept supports versioning, search, offline access, and import/export (JSON, CSV). It emphasizes interoperability with common carbon calculators and basic privacy controls. A key focus is traceability, recording calculation methods, assumptions, and sources to facilitate auditability.

Applications and reception: The concept is used in educational contexts and hypothetical demonstrations of auditable sustainability documentation. It is not a widely adopted standard; rather, a didactic example for illustrating how notes can be structured to reflect carbon data and decision rationale.
