We all contribute to climate change every day. The carbon dioxide you produce by driving your car or heating and powering your home adds up quickly.  You may be surprised by how much CO₂ you are emitting each year.  Use our Carbon Footprint calculator to  calculate your personal impact and learn how you can take action to reduce or even eliminate your emissions of carbon dioxide.

A carbon footprint is a measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide. It is meant to be useful for individuals and organisations to conceptualise their personal (or organisational) impact in contributing to climate change. Carbon offsets are a tool to manage your unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions.  They work through the mitigation of carbon emissions through the development of alternative projects such as renewable energy, such as solar, or reforestation.

The carbon footprint is a very powerful tool to understand the impact of personal behaviour on climate change. Most people are shocked when they see the amount of CO₂ their activities create!  If you want to minimise your contribution to climate change, the calculation and constant monitoring of your carbon footprint is essential.
