Carbon Footprint Calculators
Every person and every family leaves a carbon footprint. The carbon calculator uses your answers to estimate your family’s carbon footprint. The major contributors to carbon footprints are food, consumption, transportation, and household energy. Food is a significant contributor to carbon footprints, and meat, in particular, is an issue.
Here are few examples of available carbon footprint calculators so that you will have some ideas.

Imagine XYZ, a green community in northern New Jersey, the USA, where the whole community is based on green technology. People in the community want to make homes that are good for the environment, like making houses from recycled materials or collect rain for drinking water and produce heat and electricity from the sun’s rays.
We should all agree that most of our homes create pollution by using up many energy and resources. XYZ green approach aims to make our homes and the whole community save energy and resources and work in harmony with the environment.
In the XYZ community, you and everyone else are making a positive difference. Almost everything you use can be recycled or used again. Things that can’t be recycled break down into the soil in your backyard compost heap. Your home use heating and cooling systems that rely on clean energy – the kind of energy that does not create pollution. Your family’s car is made in an eco-friendly factory. It also runs on clean energy.
Your XYZ home is not just a fantasy. Use this calculator to learn how to bring you closer to this kind of world. By working together, XYZ homeowners have made a positive difference in their environment. As a result of going through this exercise, you will know what and how you’ll contribute to making your home and your community eco-friendly, Earth-friendly, and environmentally friendly.
