How big is your carbon footprint

http://actonco2.direct.gov.uk/index.html


Not done them all yet but my home is:

1.85 tonnes per year

2.43 tonnes per year

My home with the 5 of us here is 2.27 tonnes which seems to be pretty good.
Appliances 3.26 tonnes (too many computers).
Travel 13.94 tonnes (I travel a lot for work and so put in 4 short haul and 1 long haul flight a year which adds about 3 tonnes)

Home 2.34
Appliances 1.34
Travel 2.26
There are two adults and two children under school age in our household. We have three cars(one for me,one for hubby,one work car). I try and dry washing outside as much as possible and we use energy saving light-bulbs but we do use televisions etc alot.

im not putting mine down as it was huge we are starting to make more an effort with this and im constantly nagging Brian about lights on all over the house

I'm not owning up to mine! Home and appliances weren't bad but the travel was HUGE. We have two powerful cars that drink petrol but I am looking into off setting the CO2 from them so I can feel less guilty. Anyone know a good company to do it through?

come on ladies spill the beans then you can do it again when you change it

Can't remember the house and appliances but they were about average. I think that the travel was 20.5

Home 4.53 tonnes (Our boiler is ancient though)

Appliances 2.55 tonnes

Our travel is 0.65 tonnes a year!

Gonna show that usage to the hubby to make him get his arse into gear and sort out how we are going to afford a new boiler!

Quite chuffed about our travel though.

4.25 TONNES PER YEAR
in the home


2.05 APPLIANCES

ours wasnt too bad 2.75 tonnes in home ....4 of us.
our cars are fuel efficient too and we ensure we turn all appliances etc off at the maines. Things like food/ drink and holidays we are guilty of though, but isnt everyone!

our total was 10.25 - against the national average of 10.22. so not as bad as i thought it might be!

Household = 1.99 tonnes a year
Appliances = 1.02 tonnes a year
Travel = 0 tonnes a year


Look at me being all energy efficient! hehe x

household 1.69
appliances 0.69
transport 1.85

total 4.17
