The Australian
Greenhouse Calculator will calculate your yearly greenhouse
gas emissions based on your answers to a series of questions.
It will also compare your greenhouse emissions with that
of a 'typical' house and a 'green' house. It's the most thorough
greenhouse calculator for Australians, and it requires Shockwave
Player version 7 or greater.
This calculator
uses input/output analysis (life cycle analysis) to show
the greenhouse impact of your lifestyle. Instead of focusing
only on energy consumption, it takes into account the full
upstream costs of everything we do - from buying a vacuum
cleaner to eating a steak.
No matter
which continent you live in, you can answer 20 questions
and find out your ecological footprint, and how far that
is from a sustainable level worldwide.
A simple,
thorough explanation of what greenhouse gases are, how we
make them, what the enhanced greenhouse effect is and what
the effects of climate change will be. What You Can Do At
