Calculate Your Carbon Footprint
Understand your impact on the environment. Our Carbon Footprint Calculator estimates your annual CO2 emissions based on your daily activities, travel habits, and home energy consumption.
What is a Carbon Footprint?
A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide and methane) that are generated by our actions. The average global carbon footprint is about 4 tons, while the average for people in the US is closer to 16 tons per year.
How We Calculate It
- Transportation: We factor in your car mileage, public transit use, and air travel.
- Home Energy: Electricity and gas usage play a significant role in your footprint.
- Diet & Lifestyle: Your food choices (meat-based vs. plant-based) and shopping habits also contribute.
Tips to Reduce Your Footprint
- Switch to renewable energy sources if available.
- Reduce meat consumption, especially beef and lamb.
- Use public transportation, carpool, or bike when possible.
- Reduce, reuse, and recycle to minimize waste.
