The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculator is an easy to use tool which is meant to give you a rough idea of your emissions as the result of your everyday actions. Use the GGEC to see what's your impact!

• Please take some time to think about your answers for each section.
• In order to be sure that the results are correct, consider all the things you purchase (on a regular basis like groceries or for recent events like birthdays), have your utility bills handy so you can enter your actual consumption, and consider how often you use your car/travel and if you recycle.
• If you're unsure about an answer you can enter zero or even skip whole sections but the more you complete the more accurate the results will be.
