First we calculate the distance between your destination and where you started to give us the amount of petrol you need for the journey.
If this is a frequent journey, like a commute, you can add that into the calculator to give you your footprint over a certain time, rather than just one day.
Next we factor in the engine type, petrol type and the size of the car, to get the correct fuel usage estimate.
Finally we suggest the number of trees you could plant over a particular of time to greatly reduce your carbon impact.
There are lots of ways to travel that don't involve a car! And when you do need to get behind the wheel, a few small changes can make a big difference.
The first thing you can do to reduce your carbon footprint is reduce emissions. Here's why owning one of our trees should be the next thing...
We are foresters. Proper, certified, passionate ones! So we don't just plant trees, we nurture forests that provide vital sustainable timber resources.
EcoTree forests are vital carbon sinks, where trees are sustainably managed to contribute to the fight against climate change over their lifetime.
Biodiversity is at the heart of our forestry. By becoming a tree owner, you're preserving the forest home of many vital plants and animals.
The benefits are all yours! It's your tree, so it's your contribution to carbon capture, your biodiversity haven and your profit when the tree is cut.
We're here on the other end of the internet, happy to answer questions about calculating carbon footprints or our growing movement.
