How big is my footprint?

“Oh your pedal extremities are colossal.
To me you look just like a fossil.
You’ve got me walkin’, talkin’ and squarkin’,
Your feets too big, too big, too large,
Yeah, your feets too big.”

Your Feets Too Big, originally by Fred Fisher and Ada Benson, adapted by Fats Waller

We all want to do the right thing, but what exactly is ‘right’? Which are our best choices? Just how do I know what it is that I’m doing that I need to change?

Working out just where the carbon in our lives comes from is daunting. Luckily, some people enjoy the challenge.

There’s ten different carbon footprint calculators listed below. Some look more closely at your food, some at your travel, others at your energy. There’s one specially for farmers. They all give you different insights on how best to change your life. We don’t back any one over the others, use them all to figure out what choices would be best for you to make.
