How big is your footprint?

Using our household carbon calculator you can calculate the amount of carbon dioxide you and your family are pumping into the atmosphere as a result of every day living. Our travel carbon calculator allows you to do the same for both every day and holiday travel, including flights. The result of the calculation is your 'carbon footprint'. You might be surprised at the results.

Each year, even a modest household emits over ten tonnes of carbon and a car over four tonnes (three times its weight!). That is enough greenhouse gas from one typical family to fill fourteen hot air balloons. A single long haul flight emits as much carbon per passenger as the disposal of the average person’s entire annual waste!
