Personal Carbon Footprint Calculator
Use the column of boxes on the left to input your data. It is common to use anual figures when calculating your carbon footprint but you can use quartaly or monthly figures if you choose, just remember to use the same throughout the entire form.
What these figures mean:
A result below 3000 kgCO
2 (3 tonnes) would at least prove that you have awareness in the importance of reducing your impact on the environment. The result would reflect that you either recycle your waste, drive minimally or holiday locally. The figure is still certainly higher than the global average and you can reduce the result further by using energy efficient appliances, switching electricity supplier to a re-newable source or installing a solar panel or domestic wind turbine for example.
A result closely above 3000 kgCO
2 (3 tonnes) is average for a developed country and if you are to believe the results of recent scientific studies you need to be thinking more about reducing this figure to at least below 3 tonnes ideally even lower. You can achieve this by using energy efficient appliances, switching electricity supplier to a re-newable source or installing a solar panel or domestic wind turbine for example; drive less, recycling more and when choosing a foreign holiday destination consider travelling by ferry or train, even better try visiting a location in your home country.
