We are using a different ecological footprint calculator:

Here are the reasons why:
- Positives
I like that it has averages and stuff and that you don't have to be overly specific about it.
I like how it takes into account everything that you use like electricity and transportation.
I like how detailed it is and how it asks specific questions, it gives a more accurate calculation of the footprint.
The calculator can be compared to any nation and it is not limited to specific areas.
- Negatives
There is no option for carbon offset.
There may be too many questions.
You sometimes don't have enough data to answer some of the questions.

Using a program that doesn't require you to know exact amounts is very useful for students. However some of the questions might not have a known answer so a guess is needed, which could change your carbon footprint.
thats great that you found a new program that works. I love the old program and i cant wait till i can try this new one.
makes sence dude keep up that nutrition. always rip harambe
dear Solomon Yonli
Your blog intrigued me at the title and later on didn't let me down. I like how you made it in a list form instead of a non intriguing paragraph. Thank you for your support of our planet.
sincerely and out of the dearest bottom of our hearts your bois

I took a look at the Carbon foot print Calculator you used, and I was surprised at how thorough it was. I especially liked how specific the location was.

We were wondering about the contradiction you made concerning the specificity of the questions, and which one you really liked about it.

this seriously sounds like an awesome new contribution to our lives and futures dude!!
This was a great post. I like how this can be compared to any nation and isn't limited to specific areas. Also I like how you can still be specific but also have the option of using the averages if you aren't certain.
Hey, great post! I took a look at the survey. It provides a really in depth look at the different areas that contribute to a carbon footprint. I really appreciate that it gives you the opportunity to be specific where you can, while still offering the opportunity to use the averages for areas in which you are less certain. How did you find you aligned with the regional averages shown on the survey? My results showed that overall I was very near to the average in all categories. Because of the state of affairs right now, this would indicate that I have some work to do in terms of decreasing my own carbon footprint. What were the areas that you found you needed the most work in based on the simulation?
Thanks for posting!
