<p>WordPress Carbon Footprint is a simple plugin for WordPress which works out and displays the carbon footprint of your blog. It works out how many words and images are on your blog and then calculates how many sheets of paper it would take to print a copy of your blog. It finally works out how much carbon is in those sheets of paper and displays all this information for you or your readers so you can show off how much carbon you?re offsetting by hosting your content online.</p>
<ul>
<li>The script searches through every post and every page on your blog, counting the total number of words and images in each post.</li>
<li>It then works out how many pages the text would take up assuming a standard of 794 words per page. This was worked out by taking the most widely used fonts, font sizes, the word processor being used and other print options.</li>
<li>It also works out how many pages the images would take up, again based on DPI, margins and other factors.</li>
<li>The most widely used paper is around 120gsm (grams per square meter) and standard A4 paper is 210x297mm. This means that we can approximate that there is 0.0074844g of carbon per sheet of paper which we multiply by our number of pages to give the total amount carbon saved by the blog vs it being printed out on paper.</li>

<p>VerdantCart Carbon Reports helps WooCommerce stores estimate carbon emissions from orders and review reporting data over time.</p>
<p>It turns completed WooCommerce orders into period-based carbon reporting snapshots, helping merchants understand trends, identify higher-impact products, and export reports for internal sustainability review.</p>
<p>The plugin calculates estimated emissions for eligible WooCommerce orders, aggregates reporting data by period, and displays results in dashboards for both store-level and customer-level reporting.</p>
<p>Main reporting features include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Estimated carbon emissions per WooCommerce order</li>
<li>Monthly, weekly, and yearly reporting views</li>
<li>Store-level and customer-level dashboards</li>
<li>Trend comparison against previous periods</li>
<li>Product hotspot reporting</li>
<li>CSV and PDF exports</li>
<li>Sustainability insights</li>
<li>Snapshot-based reporting for stable historical results</li>
</ul>
<p>VerdantCart Carbon Reports is useful for:</p>
<ul>
<li>WooCommerce stores that want visibility into estimated order emissions</li>
<li>Merchants preparing internal sustainability summaries</li>
<li>Brands monitoring emission trends over time</li>
<li>Store owners who need exportable reporting data</li>
</ul>
<p>This plugin provides operational sustainability reporting based on WooCommerce order data. It is not a certified ESG report, GHG Protocol report, legal compliance document, or verified carbon audit.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Estimate emissions for WooCommerce orders</li>
<li>View reporting by month, week, and year</li>
<li>Review store-level reporting data</li>
<li>Review customer-level reporting data</li>
<li>Compare reporting periods</li>
<li>Identify higher-impact products with hotspot reporting</li>
<li>Use snapshot-based reporting for stable results</li>
<li>Export reports as CSV or PDF</li>
<li>View sustainability insights</li>
<li>Run backfill for historical WooCommerce orders</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>After activation, open VerdantCart from the WordPress admin menu to view carbon reporting for your WooCommerce store.</p>
<p>The plugin can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Estimate emissions for eligible WooCommerce orders</li>
<li>Aggregate reporting data by month, week, and year</li>
<li>Display store-wide reporting and customer-facing dashboard data</li>
<li>Highlight higher-impact products</li>
<li>Export reports for further use</li>
</ul>
<p>For stores with existing completed orders, use the Backfill screen once to build historical reporting data.</p>
<p>The customer-facing dashboard can be added to a WordPress page from the plugin setup flow or by using the dashboard shortcode.</p>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<p>VerdantCart Carbon Reports estimates emissions using internal calculation rules applied to WooCommerce order data.</p>
<p>Reporting data is stored inside your WordPress installation and organized into aggregated snapshots used by dashboards, comparisons, insights, hotspots, and exports.</p>
<p>The plugin uses snapshot-based reporting so historical reporting periods remain stable instead of being recalculated during normal dashboard page loads.</p>
<h3>Data & Privacy</h3>
<p>All core calculations are performed locally in your WordPress installation.</p>
<p>The plugin does not require sending WooCommerce order data to an external service for its core reporting features.</p>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 6.4 or higher</li>
<li>PHP 8.0 or higher</li>
<li>WooCommerce 8.0 or higher</li>
</ul>
