The first step towards reducing your carbon footprint is to find out what it actually is. There are many good free carbon footprint calculators online.
I find the EPA’s calculator the most useful. Mother Nature Network also lists a whole bunch of others.
In a typical American household the following are the six main areas of carbon emissions:
- Home Electricity
- Home Heating
- Commuting
- Travel
- Food
- Consumption: Reuse. Reduce. Recycle!
