Carbon calculation worksheet for when computer files are not available. Good for goal setting.

This is a 1-page worksheet that can be handed out at a group meeting to estimate carbon emissions for any period of time. It includes driving, home fuel use, electricity, and flight miles. It compares all but flight miles against national averages. To use this, people should have an electricity bill, fuel bills or estimates, estimated miles driven, and number of flights taken. It’s helpful when getting an initial estimate of your group’s emissions for goal-setting purposes. The downside is that all numbers are written on paper and aren’t in the electronic file (see the emissions calculator excel sheet) but the upside is that you can hand it out to people that are interested in the CRAG concept and can do an exercise with everyone at once in a meeting.
