Work out your personal greenhouse gas budget!
Click on one of the links below to download a spreadsheet containing a personal greenhouse gas calculation kit. It's easy to fill out and contains interesting diagrams. We would appreciate if you could tell us what you think about the calculation kit, by filling out the questionnaire as well (the fifth worksheet) and sending the whole file back to m.lenzen@physics.usyd.edu.au

If you need any help or if you have any further questions, feel free to e-mail Dr Manfred Lenzen at the University of Sydney.

You can find additional information about climate change in an article here.

If you want some additional Teaching Resources, go to this link.

If you don't have access to Microsoft Excel®, you can print a version of the calculator suitable for filling out by hand.

Thank you for your interest and feedback.

Note the calculator contains emissions coefficients which are outdated. However, the principle of the method is sound and the results are very meaningful for lifestyle comparison. We are constantly updating our database so please contact us via the email addresses noted above if you are interested in further information or more detailed item breakdowns.
