3.30 planets!

Carbon footprint or not, we are over-due an Ice age anyway!

ive killed the world

3.26 planets

3.6 here and 19.6 tonnes of CO2 a year. Bah! This last year was a bad one because I went to Australia and back for a wedding....

 

[jamie86]

Mine is pretty bad

Almost double most of yours

I guess the 160miles a day commuting doesn't help much

You're responsible for global warming.

Edit: Okay I've just done it and do 3 planets and 10 tonnes a year

 

[udtrev]

3.02 planets, 12.59 tonnes per annum.

If they think I am walking 43 miles to work, putting in a full day and walking back they got another thing coming.

I haven't flown for a year or two so I have that in my favour

And I am sorry to say 3 hours each way on the train or 1 hour by car is a no brainer - steering wheel please


Trev (off to the climate prison to do a life sentence :bang

2.21 planets, 9.11 tonnes.....creates a headline figure, not much in terms of detail, after all it asks about main mode of transport, sure it's a car, but our household runs 3, and only one is in the "eco" bracket.

something like:

is a touch more detailed

Your footprint is 3.33 planets

• 
  18%
• 
  18%
• 
  41%
• 
  23%
• Equating to an Ecological Footprint of 5.99 hectares

We've also calculated your carbon footprint, which is 14.05 tonnes per annum

I live in a new building which has solar panels built into the roof FFS yet theres no option for that on the list - and how is above 21 degrees hot , i recycle everything the local council will take and still I'm one of the worst yet lol - I don't even eat fruits or vegatables so surely I'm doing my bit there also

they probibily calculated you eat the hole adult cow

 

[Citizen Smith]

... I know theres quite a few went into making my leather sofa and the seats in my car :devil:

 

[Focus Owner]

so they will have used 1 cow for the leather and another for your food

 

[Kier]

Your footprint is
2.56 planets

We've also calculated your carbon footprint, which is 10.24 tonnes per annum

 

[JamesL]

3.24 planets and 15.19 tonnes/year. Not the worst but hardly great! I drive at least 70 miles a day so that doesnt help

 

[Helz]

2.5 planets and 10.2 tonnes I don't think it helps that I live alone, like the flat cosy and warm and work in a rural area with poor transport links so I have to drive to work.

 

[AppleSei]

just turned the fire up and switched on lights, left the tv on playing to itself whilst doing that quiz

3.16

oh well

 

[The Beard]

2.14 planets, (one of which was Saturn) 7.78 tons.

Thought about reducing my carbon footprint by using public transport to get to work. Worked it out like this: Start work at 06:00 round the "back" of the airport. Would have to get the bus which gets to where I work for about 05:45. So far so good. That leaves from the airport bus/train station at about 05:35. In order to catch that, I would have to arrive there at about 05:20 which would entail catching a train that leaves Manchester at approx. 05:00. For me to be on that train, I need to get to London Rd., near the station at about 04:45 which in turn means I need to be at the bus stop round the corner from home for near enough 04:15. On the other hand, I can walk out of the front door at 05:30 and get to work at 05:45 and still have time for a brew. 90 minutes by public transport or 15 in the car. Tricky one that.

 

[The Beard]

Oh, forgot to mention, the last time I tried it on the late shift, starting at 11:30, the first 2 buses didn't turn up and I was late.

 

[The Beard]

Thought about cycling to work when (if) the weather gets better. Was given one recently by a chap who works near me. When I went to pick it up he said
it was a decent one but not as good as the one he used to have before the accident. "Which accident?" I asked, "The one when I was cycling to work at the airport on the early shift. I was going round Green End roundabout when I was hit from behind by a Nurse on her way to work. As a result of that, I haven't been able to have any children and I now go to work in a Motobility provided Fiesta." So, although I haven't cycled to work on it yet, I did ride down to my local Sainsbury's once. When I got back I realized I'd forgotten the potatoes. Jumped in the car and went back to get them.

2.43 planets

Probably higher than it might have been cos we bought a new fridge and cooker this year. More environmentally friendly in the long term though (both A rated).
