An online calculator that enables people to work out their carbon footprint using government-recognised data and calculations has been launched by Defra.
Using the calculator, people can reliably calculate their carbon footprint from home energy, appliances and transport, and choose to calculate either their own personal footprint or their household’s. The calculator then develops a personalised action plan for users, with steps they can take to cut their emissions.
The calculator can be accessed at:
