Find out your carbon and water footprint in five minutes!

Scientific evidence strongly indicates that greenhouse gases are responsible for global warming. As CO2 is the most important of the human-emitted greenhouse gases it has been the focus of broad political and media attention in the last couple of years. Another global environmental problem concerns water resources. Population growth and an increased per-capita consumption has caused water shortages in many places, often creating a new source of conflict and destroying river ecosystems.

Changes in daily behaviour would improve the efficiency of resource usage. But are you aware of how much CO2 you produce in your daily life? Or do you know how much water is hidden in the goods you consume? This calculator will give you an idea of the volume of both the water you consume and the CO2 you emit during a year. It also gives you a few tips on how you can reduce your carbon and water footprint.
