For Good

Once you’ve created an account with
this app, you’ll be encouraged to put in
some personal information such as the
type of vehicle you drive and whether
you have solar panels or who your energy
supplier is. You can also enter your gas
and electricity readings. You’ll be able to
see what impact each answer has.
The app also asks you what type of diet
you have and so gives you a score based
on food use as well as travel and energy
consumption.

WPD Carbon Tracer
This is a bit niche in terms of area
covered, but if you’re in Wales, the
Midlands, West or South West of England
this will show you energy generation
data. However, may other energy
suppliers have similar apps, too.

UN Carbon Footprint Calculator

This is a simple calculator that takes into
account transport and lifestyle and what’s
more, it also auto-adjusts for the country
that you live in as well as the number of
people in your household. You can also
enter the size of the house that you live in
as well as different information about your
diet and other factors.

It’s certainly a good way of getting a
decent understanding of how much
carbon you’re using week-to-week.
