Here’s a calculator to let you know more or less how much you’re poisoning the earth.

how lovely :D
Mine is 5.18
Mostly because I take on average about 2 return flights to America each year. (which give me 3.something tonnes for Co2)

wow – it doesnt look good for me. we have 2 cars and I have to commute every morning to work (and this is mean, but I HATE car pooling, the mornings are my only me time). Im at about 13 tons a year… yeesh. the house is only 2 tons..hmm.
ahhhhhhhhhh lol
2.47
and hey. i take about 2 flights in and out of the states, and just in the states.
4.51, but I put “I don’t know” for many of them (so probably more than that).
Crap. 5.75! It’s the flying. Plus, I live in a block of flats where I can’t control where the energy comes from.
1.81 tonnes/yr from home. 0.18 from appliances. 1.95 from transport. Total = 3.95 tonnes/yr. Travel was the highest, and THAT was counting the fact that I didn’t get on a plane the last few years. Though I plan on being on around 4–5 planes over summer, but didn’t report that since it hasn’t happened yet….
I couldn’t really tell because everything was for living in England…so I didn’t know many of the conversion rates. So I didn’t finish :( But I also own my own car and commute, though not far, to work every day. And we have a lot of electronics.
1.85 total individual
Household: total 6.66 (two people)
.22 home, 2.65 appliances, 3.79 travel
(two car household, no flying)
(I had to guess for some of it because of the whole England thing.)
I will assume my carbon footprint is much smaller than most folks, even though we have two cars. We have no kids, and I’m sorry, but all that running the little buggers to soccer games, trips to the doctor, driving the perfectly-capable of walking there little buggers to school, and also the constant upkeep of kids in general has to really use up much more energy that a middle-aged childless couple could ever hope to use.
It will never matter, so i will never care, so i will never know.
The earth is big enough and old enough to take care of itself.
So there’s no chance that ‘global warming’ is just a trendy myth?
@Noel_S_Leitmotiv Please tell me your not serious. Are you really one of those people? Is that just your way to justify your actions? Act ignorant to the facts, call it all a lie and go on with your shit habits.
Lets just pretend that global warming doesnt exist, does that mean its now ok to destroy the earth through pollution?
