Here are links to several different 'carbon footprint calculators'. The first ones presented are simpler. It may be interesting to try several to see what different results may come up. Here is a calculator within this website . It is easy to replace your orginal numbers to see what changes if you change your usage. The data below the calculator shows some typical total usage by those living locally. To "Calculate Your Impact" using the calculator associated with the video and book An Inconvenient Truth click here. The "BP" calculator has two versions.
If you have a slower internet hookup you may want to select the "Non flash calculator" link. ( This is the second link in the left hand set on the page.) This version has no graphics and so may be faster, but it collects the same data from you to do your calculations. To try one of these click here. Green Business Program
