Eco-footprint calculator
This will calculate your personal footprint, so it helps to know how much you spend on transport, groceries, entertainment and shopping. Some questions relate to household expenditure, which we re-calculate as a personal expense. It will also help if you have the following (don't worry too much if you don't have them — take some informed guesses):
  • A rates bill for your property
  • Electricity and gas bills, with an idea of how much is renewable energy
  • Water bill
