Other carbon footprint calculators

I put together an easy to use spreadsheet for calculating our direct, measurable carbon footprints under the files tab.

There are a number of other good calculators out there. Here are a few that I have used that come recommended:

EPA personal emissions calculator¹
An Inconvenient Truth’s calculator for individuals and families²
Carbonfund emissions calculator including indirect emissions for individuals, families, and businesses³
BP’s carbon footprint calculator⁴
World Resources Institute calculator (lets you input your electricity and fuel usage)⁵
Real Costs air travel calculator⁶
Environmental Defense personal and family footprints⁷

Note that you may get very different results for each of the sites that calculates your overall footprint depending on what each site includes. Have fun with the calculators- I hope it is a grounding and eye-opening experience. But don’t get discouraged or hopeless. You can always cut back!
