Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average personal carbon footprint?
Estimates vary, but the average American's footprint (including all categories, not just this calculator's scope) is often cited around 15-16 metric tons of CO2 per year, compared to a global average closer to 4-5 tons.
What categories does this calculator exclude?
This estimate covers driving, flying, and home energy only — it excludes diet, consumer goods purchases, and other lifestyle factors that also contribute meaningfully to a complete personal carbon footprint.
What has the biggest impact on reducing my footprint?
For most people, reducing air travel, switching to an electric or more efficient vehicle, and improving home energy efficiency (insulation, renewable energy) tend to offer the largest reductions relative to effort.
