WWF Footprint Calculator
You can measure the natural resources needed to support your lifestyle, or your 'ecological footprint', by using the eco-calculator.
The problem
The way we live our lives has an impact on the planet. From the food we eat to the type of house that we live in, our lifestyle choices contribute to the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere which are the principal cause of climate change.
What you can do
You can measure the natural resources needed to support your lifestyle, or your 'ecological footprint', by using the calculator. This is a good first step towards identifying what causes your emissions so that you can take steps to reduce them. As you begin to live your life in a more environmentally friendly manner, you can use this figure as a benchmark to track your progress.
How to do it
Using our online calculator, you can measure your ecological footprint in about five minutes, as well as reading tips on how to reduce it. And you can join our Plan A community by pledging to make small changes, such as using a bag for life, using public transport, buying FSC wood and furniture - they could all add up to a big difference.
