Ecological Footprint Calculators
Ecological footprint calculators for climate change, energy use, and water consumption are listed here. Figure out your personal impact on the environment.
Carbon Footprint Calculators
Created by World Wildlife Fund (WWF), this calculates how many planets it would take to support the population if everyone had the same footprint as you. Four categories include: food, travel, home, and stuff.
Three ways to calculate environmental footprint: vehicle, flights, and home. This is a simple way to calculate your total CO2 emissions. By selecting your vehicle, manufacturer, model, and annual driving distance, you get an accurate indication on how much carbon you are using.
Calculates footprint in both hectares per person, and the number of planets required to sustain your footprint. Sixteen questions in the categories of food, mobility, shelter, and goods and services.
BP Carbon Footprint Calculator
Compare your footprint to your national average. Categories include: general household conditions, personal energy use, renewable technology, travel, and public transportation.
This calculates the energy you will save by becoming more energy efficient. It tells you how much you will save in a year, and how much carbon you will reduce in a year.
Three ways to calculate your carbon emissions with household, flight, and transport categories. Once you have established your output for any of the three categories, you have the option to offset these emissions and become “Carbon Neutral” by investing in other projects that counteract your emissions.
This tool produced by AAA allows you to select a place of departure and destination to calculate the total distance and fuel costs.
The Real Cost of Car Ownership Calculator
Ever wonder how much money you would have by retirement if you never owned a car? Use this tool to figure out how much money you spend each year owning and operating a car, and if you were to divert that money into a long-term savings account, find out how much you would accumulate. The numbers are staggering. Go see for yourself.
Energy Footprint Calculators
Pollution from Electricity Use
You type in your monthly electricity bill, and let the “Pollution from Electricity Use” calculator do the rest. Find out your total annual output of greenhouse gases, nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide, and mercury for any State you live in.
Find out how much electricity you use from a variety of appliances. Just choose your appliance, choose the hours you use it, and the total number of days you use it every month to figure out what it is costing you.
Find out the cost of running appliances in any one month period. Type in the number of appliances you use, and the total number of hours each month you use it.
Another appliance calculator. Very basic, simple to use with common watt usage with each item.
Very thoughtful interactive appliance calculator. This one featured on Toronto Hydro’s website, allows you to drop and drag virtual appliances onto a virtual home with four main areas: Living Area, Sleeping Area, Basement, and Outdoors. There are seven different categories of appliances, general, kitchen, home office, laundry, bedroom, basement, and outdoors.
This Calculator is remarkable. Convert Kilowatt hours into almost anything. Sections include: Chemical Energy, Mechanical Energy, Thermal Energy, Worldwide Energy Use, and Pollution.
Water Footprint Calculators
Calculate water usage for toilet, bath, shower, running tap, washing up, dishwasher, washing machine, dripping tap, car washing, garden, and pressure washer. Compare your results to the UK average in a pie graph.
Figure out the amount of water you use from outdoors, pools/spa, bathroom, kitchen, laundry.
