Know Your Carbon Footprint? Data centers, families and individuals plan to decrease their energy use, or carbon footprint. The Internet has several websites that you can use to calculate your own carbon emissions footprint. California State and Consumer Services Agency Assistant Secretary Jerry Martin sent these carbon footprint calculators: Carbon Footprint Climate Crisis U.S. Government Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Try one or more of these sites to help determine your own contributions to climate change. While many sites are available, he considered these among the "most comprehensive and user friendly." These sites merely give estimates so don't be alarmed at your scores. The numbers may be different when the same numbers are plugged into other sites. They have a goal that everyone learns their carbon footprint number so that we can all work to lower them. 9:11:56 PM    comment []
