It's the Planet's carbon calculator uses the AMEE database, which is continually updated with the latest research. Unlike many other calculators, we also reward climate friendly behaviour. Changing food purchasing habits, growing your own food, composting green waste and recycling can significantly reduce the climate change impact of your lifestyle so we subtract any carbon emissions saved (relative to the UK average) from your overall total.

You can either offset your entire annual carbon footprint, or if you prefer to offset a specific item, such as your last holiday flights, please go straight to the relevant section.

To calculate your carbon footprint exactly, please have ready your utility bills for heating and electricity, and details of your travel (car mileage, or usual commuting distance if using public transport, flights, etc). If you don't have your bills, it is also possible to estimate your footprint using our average values.

The contribution of air traffic to global warming is on average 2 to 4 times higher than corresponding emissions would be on the ground. Therefore, the carbon footprint of flights will take this into account. Customers will find supporting evidence on the following website: http://www.grida.no/climate/ipcc/aviation/.
