So, with melting ice-caps in the news again, this is probably too late, but

find out you carbon footprint here

According to another site I found, the impact on cimate will be nothing if everyone on earth emits 2tonnes (2000kg) of Co2 per year. UK average is 6 tonnes per person per year.

(ours is 520 kg per month or 8.4 tonnes per year between us. not great seeing as the babes are tiny and it doesn't take food miles into account)

our is (I think - as I guestimated some of the figures)

Your household carbon footprint average is 373 kilograms [ 823 lbs.] of carbon dioxide per month .
This is equivalent to 93 kilograms [ 206 lbs.] per person.

This was based on a rough estimate of DH's travelling for work (where he has to use the car).

And looking at the electricity and gas bills for the last 1/4 - and multiplying the (rough) figures by 4

Is probably miles out.
