CO2 calculator

How much CO2 do you produce each year? Whether due to heating your home or your water or due to mobility by auto, bus or airplane: in many of our everyday activities we produce CO2 without even noticing – on average 11 tons per person per year, 3 of them in the fields of housing (heating, electricity) and mobility. Fill in the fields and find out how big your personal CO2 footprint is.
