Energy Footprint

What size is your footprint? It’s not only planes, trains, and automobiles that use energy and other resources with all the associated impacts on the planet and on human societies. What we eat, what we wear, what we use; how we make things, how we work, and how we play all contribute to the size of our footprint, whether measured in resources consumed, carbon dioxide emitted, or biodiversity diminished. Each individual has an immediate impact on the planet’s health, and can also function as the catalyst for a chain of ecological behavior that can extend to an entire community. So, what size shoes are you trying to fill? And do you want others to follow in your footsteps? Use the calculators linked to on this site to see how big your footprint is and simple ways that you can reduce it.
