How big is your Carbon Footprint?

94%
It’s not easy to answer though because although I have more than 4 bedroom size house I only have heat in one room in my house so perhaps I should fil in one room house ?

Some are giving it in percentages some not what are we aiming for it’s confusing ?

Well its only a rough guide I guess. Maybe it's not totally representative at the moment. .but it does give an insight into if you add in flights how much your carbon footprint would go up by. The planet is in a mess but we need awareness before things can change

I don't think it's particularly representative just now

No, it's not. We haven't been far at all except for necessary journeys, I bought no new clothes until just recently (DH hasn't had any) and we haven't been to visit family overseas.

We did have to buy a new TV but that was necessary (or was it?).

I don't think it's particularly representative just now. I don't drive, and usually go most places by public transport, but these days I'm not going out a lot, so put that I use a car, as I am now a passenger more than I use the bus or train, but it's far less often than my travelling used to be. Similarly plane travel - it's not as though I flew very regularly before, but the fact that I haven't been on a plane since Covid is not exactly typical either.

I can't remember the other answers I gave that are untypical, but they were there.

I think it means that's good, you're well on target Gagajo
(I think so, anyway).

79% I’m not so much concerned with my carbon footprint as not wasting precious resources or adding to pollution which I have been doing for years before carbon footprints were talked about.

I found far too many of the questions too general and lacking in nuance and gave up in the end

6.46 61% on target. Probably due to us being off grid for power and no mains gas.

Have to use car though, as we're too far from public transport but we drive very little and have supermarket delivery every week and dog food delivery once a month.

Didn't let me say we grow a lot of our food!

I just redid mine taking out the annual Canada trip and scored 6.9, but I'm still flying to Canada to see my family next year, we're worth it!

On target at 93% good to know. Seems we are all trying to do our bit. I’ll keep going, would love solar power, but so expensive now, need new boiler though, that should help even more.

9.1 which included a flight to Canada that hasn't been made for the past two years, so in reality probably quite a bit lower for these years. In a normal year it would be 9.1, I aim to lower it further.

9.3 which apparently is fine

8.18 BUT that doesn't take account of having no public transport available. That wasn't something you could mention. The assumption was that you chose to travel by car. I think my large dog's food is a big part of it but as the ad says 'she's worth it'.

8.8. Could be worse, but I want it to be better.

98% which is on target apparently.
