    Your carbon emissions....

    Interesting calculator, What's your carbon footprint?

    10.21 Tonnes a year here

    Though I take all these things with a pinch of salt... still a nice little gimic

    Re: Your carbon emissions....

    6.94 overall total - still above the target footprint, though this will lower significantly during the year

    Has to be taken with a pinch of salt, it's a bit vague and generalised, but does give an overall picture. Would like to see a breakdown of the results though, I have a feeling that using CRTs probably doesn't work in favour of the results...

    8.72 tonnes per year

    This one doesn't take into account your diet. Someone that eats a lot of red meat will have a much higher footprint than a vegetarian.

    Party. But also the amount of food they consume and all the different stages in turning them into a product on a supermarket shelf.

    Re: Your carbon emissions....

    2.27 Tonnes per year apparently.

    I bet I could get lower, but with my PC and stuff on 24/7 I've very little of that happening soon.

    Unless... growing your own plants and veggies get's you less CO2 due to what they absorb

    Re: Your carbon emissions....

    6.2 tonnes for me.

    House is 1.44, appliances 0.70 and 4.06 for travel - having a 4.7ltr V8 must've helped in that department. Altough I do less than 5k miles per year.

    Whole thing is just a way for the gov't to make more money from us in taxes if you ask me.

    If there was more specific options I bet mine would be lower.
