Personal CO2 emissions calculator
Within a year people emit 35 billion of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. These are abstract and unimaginable quantities. Therefore, let’s try putting it another way:Look outside the window. Imagine a cube standing far away with a bit over a kilometre. Big, isn’t it? This is the size our power plants, cars and factories double the natural concentration of carbon dioxide every second. Imagine that every second we put such a cube on the equator, one beside the other one. Within one single day we will brick in the Earth with them over twice. And so it will happen for decades, faster and faster.Every one of us participates in emissions of carbon dioxide – gas causing climate change.
Sitting in a warm room, having a bath, travelling by car, train, doing the shopping – we use fossil fuels energy and contribute to carbon dioxide emission.
Calculator of individual emissions will count how your lifestyle translates into your carbon footprint. Not only from transport or flat but also considering consumption of industrial goods, food and all the other spheres of life.
How does it relate the average in your country, to the lifestyle of an average American or Hindu? Is you emission level safe for the Earth or maybe your carbon footprint looks like the trace of Godzilla?
Calculator will also help to indicate which changes may give the best results.
And if you draw a conclusion that your lifestyle is still too energy-consuming, the calculator will enable you to check what your impact of the planet would be if you lived the way you live given other sources of energy, changes in industry and transport.
