Tobias works in the active implementation of CARES; currently existing as an on-campus project at UC Berkeley (members including Dr. Alice Agogino and Ryan Shelby), CARES will be incorporated as a nonprofit next year.

Tobias is a senior member of the budding project. Even in its formative stages, its database contains the widest breadth of sustainability information on the planet. Visit the CARES database here. And read more about the project below.

Mission of CARES

Currently, there is great emphasis being placed upon reducing the environmental impacts associated with human activity. Unfortunately, information concerning sustainability and renewable energy technology is decentralized and unclear.

Our mission is to enable consumers and stakeholders to make informed decisions about sustainability and renewable energy technologies.

Our view is that access to the latest data, models and solutions will accelerate the adoption of sustainable solutions.

Goal of CARES

The goal of CARES is to establish and maintain a reliable, region specific online community in which users can:

  • assess their current level of sustainability,
  • receive advice on appropriate sustainability and energy solutions,
  • connect with vendors to help implement the sustainability and energy solutions, and
  • measure the improvement in their personal level of sustainability and environmental impact.
  • co-develop interoperable open source sustainability assessment tools
We will be the premier and impartial "one stop shop" portal for finding, evaluating and implementing sustainable solutions.
