What’s your carbon footprint?

Carbon calculators have been out for a few years now but they are easier to use and more accurate than ever. Take a look over at Carbon Fund’s website for an accurate calculator for household, car, mass transit, flights and events. You no longer have to feel bad for not investing in a hybrid car when you can get that same “warm and fuzzy” feeling with carbon offsets.

My stats were:

• House:   5.33
• Car:        2.53
• Planes:   0.95
• Total:      8.81 tons/year

8.81 tons roughly equates to 17,600 pounds. According to the CarbonFund site, the average American produces 50,000 tons/year.
