Calculate Your Carbon Footprint
Boulder and Boulder County have partnered with Zerofootprint, a Toronto-based organization, that helps cities and individuals track, compare and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Zerofootprint is engaging millions of individuals globally around measuring and reducing their footprint. They make this possible by combining the power of organized green content, scaleable business intelligence software with social networking and environmental engineering in a platform that can handle millions of people on the Web.
Zerofootprint's robust online carbon calculator and other tools can help you determine your own carbon footprint, and understand steps to reduce your score into the future.
These tools will help you to make informed daily choices about your energy use. It can be surprising to learn which activities contribute the most carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere. A good rule of thumb is to not sweat the small stuff, but to find out which of your activities produce the most CO2 and work on doing what you can in those areas.
