Conference call meeting versus live face to face
meeting Carbon Footprint Calculator!

Calculator Info - hide
Inevitably, in going about our daily business lives — commuting to work, working to support our families, contributing to the world economy, commuting home to enjoy a few hours of leisure or family time — each of us contributes to the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change. Yet, there are many things each of us, as individuals, can do to reduce our carbon emissions. The choices we make in our business hours, our personal hours, our travel, the food we eat, and what we buy and throw away all influence our carbon footprint and can help ensure a stable climate for future generations.
