Track your carbon

footprint with these

handy apps and sites

How do you track your carbon footprint in the first place? Obviously, before

you can offset you need to work out how much carbon your various actions
emit. Various calculators and apps are available online.

Capture

This app enables you to track things
like the type of food you eat as
well as the carbon you use getting
about. It can predict your mode of
transport and calculate accordingly.
You can also set a weekly goal to
see how you measure up against
friends as well as compare your own
emissions from week-to-week.
There are also tips to reduce your
carbon emissions, while you can also
choose to offset through recognised
forestry projects.

Map My Emissions

This simple carbon calculator doesn’t
enable you to track other stuff in
your life like food or energy, but it
does its singular job rather well - you
can calculate the carbon debt of any
journey by (almost) any means.

It’s all based around Google Maps
and you can feed the calculator
quite granular information on your
transport methods - so engine size
for cars.
