Good Morning Superforesters. It’s time to do your homework… algebra more specifically. Thinking about my eco-impact on the planet, I realized that I have no quantifiable clue as to how much my sustainable efforts have helped (or more often than not… fallen short). Thank god for the Carbon Calculator! This nifty little gadget allows you to quickly calculate your carbon footprint in comparison to the National Average. Not only that, but it also provides great suggestions to further reduce your output. And it only takes 1 minute!
Now there are many sites across the web that showcase this tool. From Al Gore’s climatecrisis.net to the carbonfund.org
Both terrific sites with loads of useful information to guide you on the path toward eco-consciousness. But I personally find the National Forest Foundations calculator the easiest and most user friendly is the National Forest Foundation’s which can be found here: http://www.nationalforests.org/carbon
What I love about the National Forest Foundation is that they are proactively revitalizing and reforesting one of our most precious and most overlooked resources. And from their Youth Conservation Campaigns, to their Community Tree Planting Initiatives, to their Give a $1, Plant a Tree Campaign… they make it real easy to get involved.
So stop what you’re doing, and take one minute to calculate your carbon footprint. There are no excuses. Do the Math.
