Every day, each of us contributes to the emission of greenhouse gasses. Whether it is from heating, cooling, and lighting of the buildings we occupy, the transportation choices we make, the food we consume, the waste we generate, or the products we buy, we all play a role. The U.S. is one of the world’s top ten emitters of greenhouse gas emissions. Individual decisions we make can help lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Find out how you measure up and quantify your personal greenhouse gas emissions using the carbon footprint calculator powered by Carbon Footprint™. Use the tool to calculate your emissions from your home, air and ground transport, and/or other areas. (When we quantify greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, we combine them into one greenhouse gas by converting them into carbon dioxide equivalent, expressed in metric tons.)
