CO2 Calculator
Your CO2 Electricity Emissions: KWh/year. To lower your Electricity consumptions take the following steps:-
LED bulbs are the most energy efficient lighting option. LED bulbs use 75% less electricity than incandescent bulbs (Energy Star). The also have no mercury, and last about 25 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs (DoE)
Devices like televisions, microwaves, scanners, and printers use standby power, even when off. Some chargers continue to pull small amounts of energy, even when plugged in (a good judge of this is if a charger feels warm to the touch).
Two 100-watt incandescent bulbs switched off an extra two hours per day could save you Rs 1000 over a year. Better yet, switch to LED. Just one switch and you're done!
Your CO2 Fuel Emission: KG/Year. To lower your fuel consumptions take the following steps:-
Drive your car only when you really need to. If you only need to travel a few blocks, consider walking or even riding a bicycle. Not only will you save money at the pump, the exercise will certainly do you some good
Cruise control means that your car will be going at a constant velocity, which means there is no acceleration. No acceleration reduces the amount of work your engine does, and therefore it uses less gas. You should set your cruise control at the speed limit, because 55 miles per hour is the perfect speed for maximum fuel efficiency
When you do need to drive your car, make sure you avoid idling whenever possible. When your car is running, but not moving, your gas mileage is absolute zero. So if your car will remain stationary for more than a minute or so, switch the engine off. However, only do this when it is safe to do so
Your CO2 LPG Emission: KG/Year . To lower your LPG consumptions take the following steps:-
Use pressure cookers whenever possible. Since food is cooked under pressure inside a pressure cooker, it gets cooked really fast (70% faster than conventional cooking techniques) and thus uses less fuel.
Overcooking reduces the nutritional value and also wastes LPG. So avoid overcooking the food.
Cover the cookware or the pan with a lid while you cook. When we close and cook the energy is used more efficiently and so cooking becomes faster. Saves time and saves fuel.
Your CO2 Waste Emission: kilograms per year. To lower your waste productions take the following steps:-
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – these three 'R' words are an important part of sustainable living, as they help to cut down on the amount of waste we have to throw away. It's Really simple!
One of the simplest ways to decrease the amount of waste you produce is to use reusable bags while shopping. Instead of relying on your supermarket’s plastic bags, bring your own cloth ones to pack up your items and tote them home. Keeping a bunch of extra bags in the trunk of your car or right by the door is an easy way to make sure you don’t forget them at home.
Every day, a large amount of what you throw into the trash could be composted and returned to the earth. If you have a bin and some extra space, you can easily start a compost that could feed back into your garden. Your excess food won’t go to waste, your garden will be full of nutrients and you can feel better about your impact on the planet. Win, win, win.
