How big is your Carbon Footprint?

111.11% but haven't been on holiday since covid

138% Don’t understand that. Maybe it’s because I don’t use trains or buses but that’s because of covid. Recycle most of my stuff. Insulate my house. Hardly buy clothes these days.

I remembered overnight that we have a condensing boiler. Oh joy! My figure dropped 2% to 106%. I tried again shifting my house temperature from 22C to 18-21C and now, it's 96%. What a difference being one degree under. Really?

I am even more puzzled by the figures now. I was assuming that the higher the percentage, the better, but if so, shouldn't those changes you made have led to your figure rising rather than falling?

85%

83%, maybe the solar panels? Said I was on target though I never go on buses or germy trains now since Covid. Hate to say it but I think it was rubbish.

I might do it again and say I do use trains and buses because I did before the pandemic. I think having a dog that I spend money on pushed up my score.

Thats the spirit.
Keep doing it until it gives the right answer.

I'm going to test it by doing everything wrong.

I know I need to change my diesel car, I'm going to make it a priority next year.

Yes I would like an electric car.,but I wonder what is the carbon footprint of getting a new electric car vs keeping a small petrol car. (yes I know I can get second hand)

I’ve done it again and it’s still 133% It makes me want to not bother. I’ve had a zero waste policy for ages and was in a recycling group 40 years ago. It suggested I bought second hand clothes. Pre covid I lived in second hand clothes! I even save the bath water to flush the toilet. An carry a hot water bottle around to stop myself from turning the heating up. My internet charges are huge but that’s because I use AOL and they only give good deals to new customers and I’m scared to switch at this moment in time as I’m so dependent on the internet. Feeling a bit paranoid!

8.25

85% but at the moment that doesn't include my annual trip to Australia to see my DGDs. Yes I want to try and help save the planet for them but I'm afraid that doesn't include not being able to see them at all.

I did it again, left every answer as before but took out all the renewables we have and how we use them. Went from 61% to 79%.

87%, will aim to get it lower.

I'm not getting a percent, what am I doing wrong? I'm 10.14 tonnes.

Done it again, 97%.

I’m 20+ tonnes! Global warming is totally down to me!

Blimey..thats quite a lot

I really don’t understand it. It says it’s because of my house but I can’t downsize. I have 4 bedrooms but they’re they’re not very big and the house is well insulated. I mean, I don’t even have a smart phone: the phone I have is 10+ years old! And my tiny car is old, too.

I don’t understand how spending money on your dog increases your percentage. Can anyone explain please?

I'm guessing cos they eat meat Avalon?

More expense spent on food either means better quality meat or more of it?

I don’t understand how spending money on your dog increases your percentage. Can anyone explain please?

It must be the meat thing. I don’t eat much meat myself. I buy a chicken every couple of weeks for the dog but use every last bit of it: boil the bones etc.

Chicken is supposed to have no methane. So if we eat chicken and feed our dogs chicken meat how can it increase your percentage? Too many anomalies for my liking.
