The Break-Up of your household's total emission












The carbon footprint calculated is only an estimate and your actual footprint is likely to be much larger, as for the sake of simplicity we have considered only the major contributors to your total emissions. Almost every aspect of your life from the food you prefer to the clothes you wear have their varied impacts on your carbon footprint. The good news is that you can considerably reduce your carbon footprint by incorporating some simple changes in your lifestyle.
