Ever wondered what your carbon emissions are? Thought not. Well now you have a chance thanks to a very smart idea launched by our friends in Poing, EBV Elektronik.
They call it a footprint calculator and it allows user to calculate
their annual greenhouse gas emissions. It's set up to allow for no two
countries have the same carbon output, so you just pop your home
country in the calculator and away you go - couldn't be easier (http//www.ebv.com/footprint ).
The calculator is part of a wider effort by EBV though it's ECOmise it campaign.
Christian Meier, Chief Operating Officer at EBV Elektronik, explains the
significance of the tool, "There is no disputing the fact, that what we do
in our working and private lives makes a considerable contribution to climate
change. But what people may not know is how much they contribute as an
individual? EBV is giving visitors to its website the opportunity to gain a
concrete, compelling image of their influence on the environment by answering
some brief, incisive questions. Initially, the user can do this purely out of
interest, but it is hoped it will encourage them to become committed to
protecting the environment."
Which can't be a bad thing.
