Our daily activities generate CO² emissions, which impact the health of the environment. A carbon footprint is the trace of this effect in terms of the quantity of greenhouse gases we produce (measured in units of carbon dioxide or CO²)

Use Direct Energy's online Carbon Footprint Calculator to measure your climate impact. The calculator will estimate how much carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases your choice creates each year*.

Instructions for using the calculator

• Allow yourself 10-15 minutes to enter the data.
• To get the most accurate results, gather your most recent electric, gas, and/or oil bills so you can use real numbers for your household's energy consumption.
• After entering the data, use the NEXT button to continue moving through the Calculator.
• The Calculator is designed to give you a rough "ballpark" estimate of your emissions and the savings you may achieve from taking certain actions.

*The sources of our calculations for the emissions are based on a combination of metrics from the Energy Information Administration (US Dept. of Energy)
