Are You Ready Act on CO2?
Act on CO2
Everyone has a carbon footprint - it's your own personal measure of how much carbon dioxide you create and how much you contribute to climate change. The Agency is working to tackle congestion and we can all make a difference by making smart travel choices.
Climate change is a serious problem that affects us all. There is strong evidence that human emissions of greenhouse gases are changing the world's climate. The main greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide (CO2), produced when we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas for energy.
Over 40 per cent of CO2 emissions in the UK come directly from what we do as individuals; for example, heating and using electricity in our homes - and driving vehicles. Flights are the next biggest source of individuals' CO2 emissions.
Calculate Your Carbon Footprint
Use the Act on CO2 calculator to find out what your carbon footprint is. You'll also get a personalised action plan with recommendations about how you can help tackle climate change - including links to further information on Directgov and the Energy Saving Trust website.
Ways in which the Government will help people act
There are many ways the Government is planning to help you act on reducing CO2 emissions - now and in the future. This means working in partnership with businesses, organisations and manufacturers.
