Way too high! Embrassed to answer : (

Trying hard to increase my carbon fibre footprint
53% for me but that's not a surprise seeing as I live on my own
101% but the travelling bit didn't mention cycling

Only saving would be changing jobs so I did not spend as much time travelling to work - though i do cycle 50% of the time and buying local produce - not that easy as a vegan tbh
No flights probably helped though
86% not sure why it won't accept I walk to work.
173, what do I win ?
I didn't have to declare being a skier which is about the most polluting activity imaginable - whole towns stuck up mountains to accommodate skiers, artificial snow, machines moving it all night, transport to the resort. The only thing I had to declare was the bus to get there.

I am below UK average.

I blame the dogs.
Foreign holidays seem to cost a [b]lot[/b] of carbon.
duplicate.
I got 110% when I did it with no flights. which is some years, some years I go no flights, sometime I take a few. So based my original on 1 return flight. added an extra 27%! 😯
Over all it's a range of things I need to improve on, that's even me with no car, but travelling on bus and trains. should probably cycle more, last 2 years I essentially stopped commuting, arse in gear I think! I imagine that'll bring it down alot.
160% but I'm certain that is skewed by my job requirements of a huge amount of travel and eating away from home.
87% for me with some glaring omissions from the questionnaire
598% for SWMBO 😀 **** you planet earth
Edit loving the tips to walk or car pool. From Fife to Sydney!

It's just a guestimate. They should really be asking:
annual gas consumption in m3 (0)
electricity in kWh +or- (-1500)
litres of petrol and diesel per year. (about 350l petrol for three people)
kms of flights (I too put 1 in but rarely fly because I detest flying)
kms of train (about 1500)
kms of bus/taxi (about1500)
m2 of property occupied
gms of meat/week
weight of recycling and disposal bins each week in kgs
polluting activities: skiing, swimming, mechanical sports,
Number of TVs, phones, computers, amplifiers, US made guitars, white goods, cameras... owned
decorating bills for the last ten years
51%, can I have a cookie or will that push it up?
It's just another one of those 'gaping holes' and assumptions type questionnaires though isn't it, but if it gets people thinking about their behaviour it can't do any harm
243% Did my long haul fights boost it?

102% WTF, I don't even have a car at the moment.
I fly to Spain twice a year to visit my elderly dad though, so I guess that's what tipped it. It's a bit far to cycle.
83%. Cats and a van to blame I suspect.
106% but isn't exactly accurate as the temp calc assumes that's the whole time.
Hopefully the real one is lots less
87% probably higher tbh.

The travel part came to 27%, I either use the train or cycle to work, one medium haul flight in the last year for personal use, we've only one car between us.

My palm oil plantation in Brazil bollocksed it right up for me.
Burning virgin rainforest is bad apparently. Don't do it kids.
93 footprints
90% with over 55% of that being related to a 4 bed house and only 2 adult occupants with oil central heating and no solar. My house only uses 1000 litres of oil per year for heating and hot water...my total energy bill is £700 for heating and electricity...
Not sure it's right, but hey ho.
125%, but I have no children so I am golden, I can do whatever the f*** I want to.
Can't wait to see the paper clip salesmen Flashearts results.

I don't get it though? 1 European flight, recycle everything, and waste a tiny amount of food (usually just bread) I don't own a car and don't use public transport every day as a work from home and cycle a reasonable amount. Try and cook from scratch when I can and buy some of meat/veg from the farmers market.
Have insulated my loft to over the 270mm, fitted triple glazing and the latest smart storage heaters that are supposed to drop your bills by 20-25% all electric but my bills are less than £500 a year for heating/water/cooking.
Showers not baths and the washing machine only a couple of times a week (overnight on economy7) I don't even have any heat source in the bedroom as the rest of the flat keeps it warm enough.
I appreciate that having just 1 person in the flat is using up more energy then me and the other half co-habiting but how did that give a high score?

what he spends on shoes is bound to influence his score
92% here. It's quite clearly far too vague to be anywhere near accurate, though my lack of flights helps to make up for living in a big house and owning a big car.
63% but more due to the fact that I'm very poor rather than a lifestyle choice.
85%, flying to Nepal last autumn pushed it up.
57% but on the basis of the question loading it should be much lower as I eat my own home produced meat with most meals and drive a large diesel Landrover a total of about 4000 miles a year. Also my house is hot because the wood burner has little control and the house is so well insulated it gets very hot very quickly!
Load of idealistic bollox. I can't work any closer to home but doing the commute by train makes it 125% versus 84% changing that answer.
#simplisticTreeHuggers
technically you can work closer to home we all can unless we actually work at home
Granted we may need to change jobs [ I would have to], get paid less etc but any commute is generally theoretically reducible
Wow. 287% with a twice yearly flight to Australia. 120% without.

Good job I didn't fill this in a few years ago, use to fly long haul at least monthly plus twice weekly European and 30k driving pa.
