Carbon footprint calculator launched
UK- London - 21 June 2007 - (NewDesignWorld Press Release center) Environment Secretary David Miliband has launched a new website that enables people to work out their carbon footprint.
It uses Government-recognised data to work out a personal calculation or one for a household.
The Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs said it means people can reliably calculate their carbon footprint from home energy appliances and transport.
The calculator then develops a personalised action plan for users, with steps they can take to cut their emissions.
The Act on CO2 calculator can be found at www.direct.gov.uk.
Mr Miliband worked out his own total, 2.76 tonnes, in eight or nine minutes on the website. This is well below the national average of more than four tonnes. "I came out better than I expected," he said.
