A reader has passed on this excellent website with info on how to calculate all sorts of emissions. It says:
“The time to act for the environment is now. We can no longer go on pretending that we aren’t personally responsible for the improvement of the planet’s conditions. One of the first steps to taking action is to evaluate our carbon footprints. The following calculators enable you to assess your consumption, individually as well as for your household, business, and transportation.
- Equivalency Calculators
- Individual Emissions
- Homes and Businesses
- Cars and Trucks”
Thanks Elisa

The algorithms and underlying assumpptions do not stack up against many similar Australian sites which do a much better job.
Why not analyse the underlying assumptions and algorithms involved before deciding to call it an ‘excellent website’.
Surely one of our problems here in Australia is both media and blogs calling things ‘excellent’ rather than advertising it without a useful analysis and critique of why it is is ‘excellent’.
Hi Gloria – thanks for your input. Elisa, after her research obviously found value in this site. Perhaps you could expand on your comments here and provide other URLs you consider ‘better’ so readers can judge for themselves? This is what the PWF info-exchange is all about – providing info so people have a starting point for responsible decisionmaking. PWF looks forward to your perspective.
