Calculate your Carbon Footprint
Basically everything that we as humans do has an impact on the environment and this can be termed as our Carbon Footprint.Each time we use a car, train, airplane we release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as these machines burn fuels that release CO₂. Using electricity has the same effect as fossil fuels are burnt to generate electricity. The calculator below shows exactly how much CO₂ you emit and where you can lower your carbon footprint.
