Find (and lower) your carbon footprint, 82°

Inevitably, in going about our daily lives, each of us contributes to the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change. Yet, there are many things each of us, as individuals, can do to reduce our carbon emissions.

Use The Nature Conservancy's carbon footprint calculator to measure your impact on our climate. This carbon footprint calculator estimates how many tons of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases your choices create each year using scientific data.

Unfortunately for the rest of the planet, this seems to be a US-centric carbon calculator. Here are some others:

UK: http://actonco2.direct.gov.uk/index.html

Who has calculated their carbon footprint? What problems did they identify with the process? What worked well?
