+- [CarbonLint](https://github.com/nishal21/CarbonLint):CarbonLint is a free, open-source developer sustainability tool that monitors your software's energy consumption and calculates its carbon footprint in real time. It works as both a desktop application (built with Tauri and Rust) and a CLI tool (published on npm as carbonlint-cli) that integrates directly into CI/CD pipelines.
+Software accounts for a growing share of global energy use. CarbonLint helps developers build greener software by providing visibility into the environmental cost of their code — from CPU and memory usage to estimated CO₂ emissions per coding session.
