ecological impact. |

website has several questions in each of four categories:
home energy, driving and flying, food and diet, and
recycling and waste. The questions are

data such as energy bills. Your impact is estimated as
tons of carbon dioxide produced per year. It is easy
to see from the calculator what actions you could take to
reduce your carbon footprint. |
