Carbon Calculator

Step 1 of 3

Household

It is likely that your household is the largest carbon emitter in your life. Between heat and electricity, our homes consume a lot of energy. Because our homes consume so much energy, our choices here affect our carbon emissions more than anywhere else.

Enter annual usage below or Use Averages
Electricity: KWh per year
Natural Gas: therms per year
Heating Oil: gallons per year
Propane: gallons per year

Fill out the information in the fields above, with the numbers that you get on your monthly utility bills. Keep in mind that these are all annual totals. If you don't know your usage for any of these figures, you may use the averages instead. If you subscribe to a program such as Xcel Energy's Windsource, and get all of your electricity from renewable sources, you can enter "0" for your electricity usage.
