Zerofootprint Calculator
The Zerofootprint calculator was designed to enable the University community to individually and collectively examine the effects our lifestyle changes have on our planet. This online calculator summarizes our impacts in a carbon footprint - how much carbon dioxide equivalents our activities emit into the atmosphere.

Filling Out the Calculator
Having detailed information on-hand (such as how much you drive, how much garbage you use, and the amount of time spent in transit on a monthly basis) will help you fill in the calculator much more accurately. If you do not have detailed information, the calculator offers an "average use" option.
