Use the calculator to measure your carbon footprint and find out what practical steps you can take to make it smaller. On a personalised page, you can track your progress, update your carbon-reducing actions and see a Google Map featuring the footprints and actions of everyone taking part. To share ideas, ask advice or find people in your local area to collaborate with, join the UK Carbon Footprint discussion group.

    I wonder why they don’t have a version for the U.S. yet?

  • Google results didn’t turn up an answer to my question 🙁

  • I will immediately install google uk carbon calculator and check out the status of my home, it is really a good software and useful one too. It is very much essential now a days.

    The calculations for secondary emissions are based on estimates developed by Carbon Footprint to illustrate the impact on the environment from your day-to-day activities. Your actual secondary footprint may in reality be either lower or greater than that estimated here. Your total carbon footprint is the sum of your primary and secondary emissions.
