Welcome to the City of Seattle's Carbon Calculator. This tool will help you identify your individual or household carbon footprint as well as highlight action steps that you can take to reduce your footprint.

If every resident in Seattle committed to making a significant reduction in their carbon footprint, we would easily meet our goal of reducing our greenhouse gas emissions to 7% below our 1990 emissions, or 7.28 million tons. By 2012, we hope to reduce that number to 6.77 million tons. Even with more people, businesses and buildings in the city, we can reduce our carbon footprint!

This tool will take about 20 minutes to complete and you will need the following information:

• Your electricity bill
• The make and model of your vehicle and approximate number of miles driven per week.

Thank you for taking this important first step in reducing your carbon footprint!
