CO2 Emissions Calculator

Based on our principles that everyone can make a difference and that everyone has room to improve, we encourage you to set a challenging but manageable goal for yourself or your family, and stick to it! If you're currently at a high level of emissions, don't despair. This just means you have more room to improve!

As you progress, let us know how you're doing! Write a blog, or start a forum topic.

The above calculator is based on the following levels of CO₂ emissions, provided by David Gershon, author of Green Living Handbook and Low Carbon Diet:

• Lots of room for improvement here.
• Level 2: 70,000 – 79,999 lbs.
• Level 3: 60,000 – 69,999 lbs.
• There's still lots of changes you can make to reduce your footprint.
• Level 4: 50,000 – 59,999 lbs.
• Level 5: 40,000 – 49,999 lbs.
• A great start.
• Level 6: 30,000 – 39,999 lbs.
• Level 7: 20,000 – 29,999 lbs.

• Level 8: 10,000 – 19,999 lbs.
• Level 9: 1,000 – 9,999 lbs.
