It seems I'm contributing to the earth's impending doom by living alone in a full-size house. Thank goodness they don't know about the racing.

ugh... i'm an 11. winterizing the house will happen this summer. the flying thing isn't fair though if the army makes you go somewhere, maybe i shouldn't count that

5.9. Thank you for the awareness raising blog

24 tons per year. Seems high considering I don't drive at all. I think flying is what killed me -I flew something like 60-80,000 miles last year.

Looks like the two major determining factors are dwelling and location. For instance, 5+ person apartment dwelling in WA was estimated at 4.3 tons in the calculator, but the same dwelling ranged all over the place ...

Even with my adjustments (for efficient appliances, lighting, etc.) going negative this calculator rates me at 32 ton/year. Seemed high, so worked it out from the other direction - house and location seem to bundle electricity and home heating/cooling together, so broke them out - and found I'm producing about 20 tons CO2/year.

Guess the only thing to do is marry and raise two kids ... that would bring it down into the 7 ton/year range.

46 I am truly ashamed.

20.

Though my dwelling and location both were incorrect, as there was no option for Canadians who live in tiny studio sized apartments. I went with what Agy did, and just entered NY. A few questions should give a better range of answers.

5.3 using this calculator (but I had to pretend I lived in Maine!)
the UK Government Carbon calculator - rather optimistically - claims my actual footprint is 3.3 tonnes. You can probably double that, so i don't feel too smug.

Act On CO2

"carbon footprint" doesn't mean anything.

EVERY living thing is made out of carbon.

how about instead of worrying about meaningless shit like a carbon footprint we worry about the island of trash in the middle of the pacific ocean that's the size of texas?

just sayin...
