Great Emissions Calculator!

I stumbled across a fantastic emissions calculator today while doing some research.

The EPA Clean Energy Department has a 'power profiler' which will provide you with detailed information about where your energy comes from.

The tool uses your zip code to provide a fuel mix comparison, an emissions rate comparison and provides suggestions on how to make a difference.

Then, you can use your actual monthly energy use, your average monthly energy use or the square footage of your home or business to determine your emissions. This provides you with the estimated pounds of nitrogen oxide, sulpher dioxide and carbon dioxide you emit each year.

This is translated into real terms, aka how many cars produce the equivalent, or how many trees need to be planted to compensate.

Give it a go! See how you compare to the national average
