Welcome to your

Carbon Footprint Calculator

The tool designed to help you understand the impact of your
daily habits on the environment.

Get Started

The calculator is divided into sections, each focusing on a different aspect of your lifestyle.

Mobility, Waste and Circularity, and Energy. By assessing your habits in these areas, we can estimate the carbon footprint you generate. Each section will ask about specific behaviors and choices you make daily, giving you a tailored understanding of your impact. A detailed methodological note is provided at the end of the questionnaire.

Why you should use this calculator

Our hope is that by becoming more aware of your carbon footprint and the impact of your daily habits, you'll be
inspired to make more environmentally friendly choices. Climate change is an urgent issue, and every action counts.

Let’s work together to make a positive impact on our planet.

Food

This section analyzes your daily eating habits, including the types of food you consume and where they come from. It looks at the environmental impact of your diet choices, such as the amount of meat, dairy, or plant-based foods you eat, and whether you prefer local or imported products.

Mobility

In this section, we'll explore how you get around. Whether you drive a car, take public transportation, bike, or walk, your choices impact your carbon footprint. We'll assess your travel habits to understand their environmental implications, from daily commutes to long-distance trips.

Waste and Circularity

This part of the calculator focuses on how you manage waste. It covers your recycling habits, how much waste you produce, and what steps you take to reduce it. By understanding your waste disposal methods, we can assess your contribution to landfill use and resource conservation.

Energy

This section looks at your home energy consumption. It takes into account the ways you use energy, the costs associated with heating your home, and whether you implement various energy-saving measures. By analyzing these factors, we can estimate the carbon emissions generated by your household's energy use.

AT THE END OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE

You'll discover your total CO2 emissions, which will be humorously compared to how many times you could have driven a car around the Earth's equator.

This tool was developed by the University of Turin as part of the European project 'Green Rights for a Sustainable Future: Improving Citizens' Involvement in the EU's Climate Ambitions', to enable citizens to estimate their carbon footprint based on their main daily habits. The project is led by the Romanian Center for European Policies (www.crpe.ro) as project coordinator and includes a consortium of 4 other organisations: University of Turin(Italy), Amapola Progetti (Italy), Clean Air Act (Hungary) and G4media (Romania)
