What's my carbon footprint?
Whether you believe it or not, each and every action you perform during the course of the day, is in some ways or the other, causing the emission of greenhouse gases which are in turn harming the world we live in. The choices that you make in your home, like the food you eat, the clothes you wear the vehicles you use, the amount of electricity you use for your daily chores are all responsible for the greenhouse gas emission and therefore the first step to curbing the problme is to know how much of a problem you are basically creating.
There are many carbon footprint calculators available on th web which can help you figure out quite easily the amount of emission you make for household purposes, for business purposes and also as an individual.
Some sites that can help you do so are,

Really Long Link
To get started all you have to do is type the number of memebers in your home and then answer questions related to household energy usage, vehicle usage, food, recycling etc.
once all information has been put, the system generates your carbon footprint and also your household.
Once the results are out, you can easily figure out whether you have succesfully curbed your emission rates, or you still need to do a thing or two to be a smart environmental friendly home maker.
Do share your results with me and learn next time more on how to reduce your carbon footprint.

*clapping hands* was really looking forward to this post.
With the US average household sitting at a disgusting 110 tons of CO2 per year; and the world average at 22 tons; I am feeling pretty good that our household only put out 15 tons this year (and that was with three interstate flights included too)... so, not to shabby an effort.
Lets hope more take up the initiative.
Have a Great Christmas!
