Calculators

The EPA provides an online tool that enables you to calculate your Ecological Footprint. Use the calculator to find out where your footprint is greatest - at home, work or during recreational activities. 

To calculate your carbon emissions, use the Carbon Emissions calculator on One Degree's website. This calculator is based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol - an international guide for calculating carbon emissions. It will show you what impact different energy saving initiatives can have, give you some practical ideas to reduce your energy consumption in a range of areas and offer you an opportunity to offset what you can't eliminate.
