Carbon Footprint Calculator

A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide and methane) that are generated by our actions. It's typically measured in tons of CO2 equivalent per year and includes direct and indirect emissions from various activities.

Reduce your footprint by using energy-efficient appliances, choosing renewable energy, reducing meat consumption, using public transport, recycling, and supporting sustainable businesses. Small changes in daily habits can make a significant impact.

The global average is about 4 tons per person per year. To meet climate goals, we should aim for 2 tons or less. However, this varies by country and lifestyle. The calculator helps you understand your current impact and set reduction goals.

The calculator uses standardized emission factors and industry data. While it provides a good estimate, actual emissions may vary based on specific circumstances. Regular updates ensure the most current data is used.

Yes, carbon offsetting can help balance your emissions. Options include planting trees, supporting renewable energy projects, or investing in carbon capture technologies. However, reducing emissions should be the primary focus.
