8.79 I obviously need to get out more

[philhoward]

26 tonnes...18 of that is flights (when i have to work abroad) and travel to work!

Like the recommendations...always fill my dishwasher fully (I do anyway) and install underfloor insulation (my house is built on a concrete slab)..NOT!

National average - where do they get that figure from?

[Mr Skrunts]

Mine was 5.8 Tonnes.  But I could not answer accuratley.

I have 2 cars, a TV in most rooms.  Multiple games consoles.

I am being honest when I say I dont understand a lot of it.  But am shocked to see my usage in Tonnes and then think CO2 is a gas.  

Now my brain hurts  :-/

I do around 1000 mile a month just for work - add my social miliage which is around 500 to 600 miles a month...

and yeah I rack a load up up

All figures are in tonnes per year.
Breakdown of sections       CO2 Footprint
Total Footprint for Home       1
      Heating & Hot Water       0.93
      Lighting       0.07
Total Footprint for Appliances       0.71
      Kitchen       0.24
      Entertainment       0.32
      Study       0.11
      Other       0.04
Total Footprint for Travel       11.79
      Vehicle       11.79
      Flights       0
Total Carbon Footprint       13.5

Your target footprint total is 10.8 tonnes per year.

The national average total is 4.25 tonnes per year.

Little heating.
Little hot water.
No lights left on.(Energy bulbs used where possible).
Kettle filled to minimum.
Not been on a flight for years.
So no holidays lately.
No food thrown away.
Recycle what I can.
Eat fruit from the garden.
Reuse Jiffy bags.
Drive a V6 Omega.

My carbon footprint is probably only half of a supermini drivers who is less frugal.
So why will I pay £440 road tax to be less polluting than they are.People should be judged on their total carbon footprint and not just on the cars they drive.

[albitz]

tbh,I couldnt give a monkeys about my so called carbon footprint.

Thanks Skruntie for this!

Very interesting; my total is 6.65 tonnes per year.

Sounds bad!

[HolyCount]

[Ian_D]
