Here is a very clever gadget, thatwill give you an idea of how much impact you are personally having on the world around you. It also gives you the opportunity to offset some or all of your footprint.

I worked out mine and came to 6.85 tonnes per year.. which is apparently quite good, because the UK national average is 9.8 tonnes per year, putting us pretty high up in the tables of most efficient countries. Although I do quite well, by filling in the details, especially in the 'secondary footprint' area, it has highlighted areas where I could do better, so I am aiming to get down to below 6 by the end of the year.

The US national average per person is a whopping 20.4 tonnes per year.. How do you compare?

That's pretty cool. Well, cool in an "interesting" sort of way, but sorta sad once I started comparing things.

Mine was 3.919 which is very good for the US apparently. I'm not doing too bad at all I'm glad to see. Thanks for the link, stav, an interesting tool you found there.

That's bloody amazing for anywhere Serenity.

You're my new hero... i wanna be you... and have your babies... ok.. maybe not...

but that is a really good result. Do you live in the city or are you a rural dweller?

This is really cool. Thanks for sharing. I am going to send the link out to some of my friends.

I still have some work to do, apparently . Not much, but there's room for improvement
