Individuals and Households

With this calculator individuals and entire households can estimate how much carbon dioxide is caused by their everyday activities. Attempting to gauge the total carbon imprint of an individual is a vast undertaking, because the variables for each of us are so great we can only do our best to be as specific in our calculations as possible.

CO2e Project uses regional factoring to determine the amount of carbon produced when power is generated to supply your home. The size of your home is not considered because it has little to do with how much power it takes to heat and cool the home, at the end of the day it only matters how much energy was actually consumed. Automobiles burn gasoline at differing rates and the same vehicle will have varying rates of consumption depending on weather conditions and altitude. What is relatively sure is when gasoline burns the carbon atoms attach themselves to two oxygen atoms, creating CO2. The resulting CO2 weighs 3.7 times what the original carbon atom weighed alone, a single gallon of gasoline produces twenty two pounds (22 lb.) of CO2.

To determine the precise amount of carbon your life’s activities cause to be placed into the atmosphere would require one-on-one consultation that goes deep into your shopping habits, day to day activities and other related information. Most people do not want such intrusion into their personal habits, if you want such consultation please contact CO2e Project to arrange for this service.

To use the calculator for a household simply multiply by the number of persons living in the home. If you like, you could add your neighbor who may not be concerned with neutralizing the carbon in his life.
