Animals specialize in treading lightly on the earth,
leaving nothing but footprints behind.
We humans specialize in another kind of footprint. Our “carbon footprints” – made up of carbon dioxide emissions released by our energy consuming activities – are a leading cause of global warming and a threat to the future of the planet. But it’s not too late to make a change!
Use this calculator* to measure your annual carbon footprint and find out how much carbon dioxide (CO2) your energy consumption is leaving behind. Once you know what your carbon footprint is, write it down and enter it below. Then start reducing! Calculate your footprint now!
