Carbon Footsteps

How to calculate the pollutions that we've made?

1) Fossil Fuel Powered Vehicle

Inputs are for number of kilometers driven and fuel efficiency of vehicle driven. Total number of kilometers driven per month is divided by kilometers per litre to determine the total number of litres of fuel that are used each month.

Quantity is then converted to gallons (1 liter = 0.02642 gallons) if it was in liters. Number of gallons of fuel is then multiplied by 8.87 to get kilograms of carbon dioxide.

total km
______ X 0.2642 X 8.87
km/l

2) Airplane

The number of miles traveled is multiplied by 1.61 to get kilometers traveled, which is then multiplied by 0.18 kilograms of carbon dioxide per kilometers to get total kilograms of carbon dioxide.

miles traveled X 0.18

Calculate yourself. Then you'll know how much you pollute our mother nature.
