Do you know how much impact you have on the environment?
No matter where on Earth you live--whether the crowded streets of Delhi, or a sprawling suburb of New York City--your lifestyle has an impact on the global environment. Decisions, such as where you reside and how you get around, have repercussions on the planet well beyond your neighborhood.
Help cool the planet one home at a time! Do your part to help reduce global warming by taking the Good Neighbor Pledge today!
This green calculator will help you measure your impact by estimating the amount of carbon dioxide you generate. Emissions of carbon dioxide, a so-called greenhouse gas, contribute to global warming. If emissions are left unchecked, global warming may cause some of the world's most unique ecosystems and wildlife to disappear.
This calculator will also allow you to explore actions you can take to lower your emissions while reducing energy costs.
Completing the calculator will take about five minutes. There are ten questions. You will need to know this information:
- your average car mileage(s) per week,
- the amount of your energy bills, and
- the amount of garbage you produce.
