City of Morgan Hill : Carbon Calculator

This online tool can be used to help you conceptualize how your daily activities emit carbon dioxide (CO₂) that contributes to global warming. Please take a few minutes to estimate your carbon emissions and take action by going on a carbon diet. Shaving off 1,000 to 5,000 pounds of CO₂ this year will help the City and State reach its goal to reduce emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, and will contribute to a healthier community and world.

This carbon calculator is based on local energy calculations for Bay Area residents.
