I'm using the top 5 carbon-offset Companies as listed in "G Magazine" to establish what my family's emissions are;
CLIMATE FRIENDLY
18.2 tonnes of carbon based on the use of cars, flights and power consumed at home.
CLEANER CLIMATE
A struggle to find the carbon calculator and then, after some redirections, I couldn't get it to work on my computer.... hmm
CLIMATE POSITIVE
24.72 tonnes of carbon. More complicated calculator basing it's figure on location, number of occupants, power consumption, amount of waste produced, car travel, food and flights
SOUTHERN METROPOLITAN REGIONAL COUNCIL
Link to carbon calculator did not work!
CARBON REDUCTION INSTITUTE
26.5 tonnes of carbon based on all travel, car useage, waste and power consumption. Power calculated on amount of energy used (both gas and electricity).

CARBON FOOTPRINTS
It's my intention to complete a mini-project as part of my blog which will:-
1. Establish the carbon footprint of our current lifestyle; and
2. Review all kinds of methods that I can use to reduce our carbon footprint.
To track posts directly relating to this project only, hit the label "Carbon Footprint"....
