What is my carbon footprint?

YOUR Carbon Footprint is YOUR contribution to Global Warming & the Climate Crisis

    Calculating your carbon footprint involves assessing the amount of greenhouse gases, (eg., carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, etc.), that your activities and lifestyle contribute to the atmosphere. 

    Here's a general guide on how to calculate your carbon footprint, along with some online calculators that can help. Remember that these calculators provide estimates based on averages and assumptions, and actual emissions may vary.                    Additionally, reducing your carbon footprint is a continual process, and making sustainable choices can lead to a positive impact over time.

1. Assess Your Household Energy Usage

Estimate your energy consumption at home by considering your electricity and heating usage. You can check your utility bills for this information.

  • Calculator: Carbon Footprint Calculator

2. Transportation

Determine your transportation-related emissions, including the fuel consumption of your car, distance traveled, and modes of transportation used.

3. Food and Diet

Evaluate the carbon footprint of your diet, as certain food choices can significantly contribute to emissions. Consider the production, transportation, and packaging of your food.

4. Waste Generation

Consider the waste you generate, both at home and in your lifestyle. This includes recycling habits, water usage, and general waste production.

5. Shopping and Consumption

Assess the carbon footprint associated with your shopping habits, including the production and transportation of goods.
