What’s your footprint?

Two minutes, with Indian figures. Then see the three changes that would make the biggest difference for you.

Your home

For the whole household; we divide it by the people living there.

The “units” (kWh) on your bill. Take an average if they change with the season.

Standard 14.2 kg cylinders.

Leave it at 0 if you only use LPG.

Getting around

Your own travel in a typical week, in kilometres.

Flights in a year

Your food

Nothing you enter leaves your phone: it’s all worked out in your browser.

How we worked it out

These are estimates to help you choose what to change, not an exact measure. They cover your home energy, travel and food, but not the things you buy. The factors are rounded and come from the sources below.
