Light CO2 utilizes your zip code as a core component of this carbon footprint calculator. In partnership with the University of California, Berkeley's emissions audit, information such as the percent clean energy, average residence size, and numerous other factors that dictate your environmental impact are leveraged. Through this method, we've streamlined our carbon footprint calculator to be both accurate and effortless. We take privacy sincerely, so your zip code data is never shared with anyone.
Applying the EPA's most recent data, Light CO2 simulated a 22 mile per gallon vehicle, factoring in varying emissions during the duration of a drive. Additionally, we've incorporated the impact of pollutants such as methane and nitrous oxide in these calculations. If you do not travel with a gas or diesel vehicle, select none. We will then add your transportation emissions with alternative means, such as public transit based on zip code.
