Action Earth: Carbon Footprint Calculator

Jumbo Jet

Carbon Footprint Calculator

To calculate your individual carbon footprint use the Carbon Footprint Calculator. You will need the following information:

Your estimated annual travel distance (car, train, bus and air)
Your last 4 energy utility bills (gas, electricity and oil)
Seasonal variations mean that multipling your last bill by 4 will not give an accurate picture of usage.

* The calculation of the carbon dioxide emission co-efficient is based on the current fuel mix for electricity generation.

** Although varying by region and by altitude, these carbon dioxide emissions have been multiplied by an average factor of three to take account of the warming effect equivalent of other greenhouse gases in the upper atmosphere.

*** Multiply by 2 to take account of the per-capita share of emissions from industrial, commercial, agricultural and public sectors, which create our goods and services
