A person's Carbon Footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gasses released into the atmosphere that is a result of their actions and decisions. To prevent the effects of climate change, people should try to reduce their carbon footprint.
However, we have to first determine what your carbon footprint is and some main areas that you can improve on. Please answer these few questions about actions/decisions your family makes on a daily, weekly, or yearly basis. This calculator will approximate the tons of carbon that your family is responsible annually.
By comparison, the average carbon footprint of one person is 5.5 tons of carbon per year. In the US, the number is around 14 tons per person per year.
