Carbon Neutral Website is a carbon emission calculator that will take into account the power consumption of the devices used to access web pages and web servers, as well as the carbon footprint of the internet infrastructure. It also tells you the amount of trees you should plant to offset the web page's carbon footprint.

You need to deploy /lighthouse on AWS Lambda, and then change the LIGHTHOUSE_LAMBDA_URI environment variable to the public function instance URI.
This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.
First, run the development server:
npm run dev
# or
yarn devOpen http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
You can start editing the page by modifying pages/index.js. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
