Carbon Footprint Estimator

Estimate how everyday choices in electricity use, travel, diet, and waste contribute to your environmental impact. This simplified tool is designed for educational use and practical reflection.

How This Tool Works

This estimator uses a simplified point-based framework to help users reflect on broad lifestyle patterns. It is not a formal carbon audit, but it provides a useful first step toward understanding where emissions may be concentrated and where more sustainable choices can make a difference.
