Calculate your carbon impact

The best way to track your personal progress toward 80% carbon cuts by 2050 is to take an inventory of your emissions today, then come back in a year and see if you're 4% lower.

Here are two carbon calculators

• EPA's Personal Emissions Calculator
• SafeClimate by the World Resources Institute

If you're interested in offsetting the emissions you can't eliminate, check out Conscious Consumer's Carbon Offset page.
