Carbon footprint calculator


We have spoken much in these pages about the necessity to reduce our emissions in order to mitigate our impact on climate change.

Our personal impact is also important!

A part of this is knowing what our carbon footprint is.

I have found two calculators, US and UK versions (I cannot imagine that the geographic aspect has an impact on the results), which enable us to calculate our personal carbon footprint and, thereby, help us to become sensitized to the need to change our daily habits, even in the smallest of things.

Good luck with the calculations!

The SafeClimate carbon footprint calculator allows you to determine carbon dioxide emissions from major sources: home energy consumption and transportation by car and plane.

What is a carbon footprint?

On the SafeClimate site, this information can be tracked over time, allowing you to gauge the impact of actions you take to reduce your carbon footprint.
