There is a lot of talk about reducing carbon footprints these days, and so many different websites that offer carbon calculators. It gets very confusing and it’s hard to figure out which has the best and most comprehensive calculator. I’ve discovered that the most useful information from these calculators comes from the questions themselves, not the ultimate score. I suggest that you look a a couple of different versions of calculators, and focus on educating yourself about the ways to reduce your footprint. The value is in changing your habits; the score is just a benchmark to inspire you.
