Ecology Calculators

Understand your environmental footprint — carbon, energy, water, solar and composting math in one place.

Driving Carbon Footprint Calculator

Distance (km) Fuel efficiency (km per litre)

Estimate the CO2 emissions of a car journey from distance and fuel economy.

CO2 to offset (kg/year)

Find how many trees it takes to absorb a given amount of CO2 each year.

Roof area (m²) Rainfall (mm)

Estimate how much rainwater a roof can collect from its area and the rainfall.
