We’ve all heard the terms: carbon footprint, carbon off-setting, carbon neutral… but how many of us actually know what our carbon footprint is? More to the point, how on earth do we go about reducing it.
That’s where AlertMe’s new carbon footprint tool comes in. The company has developed a nifty new widget that allows you to measure your carbon output and convert it into examples (and costs) that you actually understand.
For example, a daily spin of the tumble dryer generates about 300kg of CO2, which is equivalent to driving from Glasgow to Brighton and back.
Not only that – it also costs you about £100 in electricity a year. So not only do you ‘get it’, you’ve also got the power to reduce it.
Features
- Know how much carbon dioxide your home creates.
Calculate your home’s carbon footprint and find ways to drive this down.
Monitor your CO2 usage over time and spot trends to help reduce your footprint.
Benefits
- Convert kgs of carbon into something you can understand, like miles travelled, plane trips, plastic bags used or gallons of petrol.
Reduce your carbon emissions and make your home more environmentally friendly.
See how your carbon footprint compares to the UK average.
The Carbon Trust estimates that the average UK home energy usage generates 1.37 tonnes of carbon per year, that’s 1370 kg of carbon.
How do you compare? Is your carbon footprint high, low, about average?
Now with Carbon Footprint, you can see at a glance how your carbon emissions compare to the national average and take steps to reduce your impact on the environment.
