Track Your Carbon
The climate question is actually black and white. In one way it's the most complicated question there is, and it's gonna take so much to stop it. But still the solution is so simple even a 5 year old can understand it: We have to end the emissions. That's black and white. Because either we start a chain reaction that trigger events beyond human control. Or we don't.

What do I do now?
Fill in your lifestyle in our calculator to see what temperature rise the world would see if everyone emitted the same as you. Then adjust your future plans on the "Changes" sheet to try to bring your personal temperature rise down to 1.5 degrees C.
Either download the calculator, in which case you can save your results or use online:

Plans for the future
Here is where I would like to offer you a snazzy, freely downloadable, fun and easy to use App and website tool version. Including:
- "Where am I Heading" Enter your current lifestyle: food, travel, stuff, household energy... and get an estimate of what global temperature rise your emissions would lead to if you make no changes: "business as usual".
- "Possible Changes" Play with ideas for change and see what difference you can make. Use it to make an action plan to get you to your chosen temperature target.
- "Help Me Stay on Track" Weekly / monthly targets from your action plan for each area, stuff, travel, home... Enter actual use to see how you're doing, offset against other areas if you're over budget or give yourself some slack if you're ahead!
- "Quick Check" Look up and compare food / travel / consumer goods to find the best option
- "Anybody Else Out There" Networking tool, connect with others to share ideas, support each other, compete or challenge each other, you choose how you want to use it...
Have FUN! - Get reward points, get a sense of achievement, get booby prizes when you slip up!
But we're not there yet, and we'll need help to get there. Ideas so far are:
