We all contribute to global warming through our daily activities - when we drive, fly or consume electricity and gas. Find out how much carbon dioxide you emit by using our simple calculator.
One solution to this problem is to reduce the energy we consume. Find out how to reduce your emissions at home and on the road.
The other solution is to offset emissions by planting trees or buying our electricity from renewable energy sources.
your impacts
Are you interested in working out how much your household contributes to the global warming problem?
Once you've worked out your emissions, you will have the option of donating to Carbon Neutral. This donation will help us to plant trees to offset the emissions you calculate.
Planting trees is an effective way to absorb or 'sequester' carbon dioxide emissions. Carbon Neutral plants hundreds of thousands of native trees each year in environmentally vulnerable areas.
Most Australian electricity retailers have a green option allowing consumers to opt to receive part or all of their electricity from renewable generators.
Opting to draw your electricity from renewable resources effectively reduces Australia's use of fossil fuel based energy sources and is a powerful way of offsetting the electricity that you consume.
For the average Australian household, this can cost less than an extra $1 a day.
