Event and Conference Carbon Footprint Calculator

Climate change is one of the most serious environmental challenges facing us today. All of us contribute to global warming. So all of us must be part of the solution. If all carbon emissions from agriculture and industrial activities are included, the total emissions per capita are about 23 tons per year in the US and Canada. You can help reduce pollution and fight global warming by calculating your companies carbon footprint and offsetting your event, conference and meeting emissions. Working towards becoming carbon neutral will give your business a leadership sustainability position that will be rewarded by your customers to give you a competitive edge.

Cost to Offset

Offsetting all your emissions is equivalent to:

Removing - cars from the road for a year
Turning off - hundred-watt lightbulbs for 12 hours
Not flying - miles
Saving - barrels of oil
Saving - gallons of gasoline
Saving - tanker trucks of gasoline
Eliminating - homes' electricity for a year
Eliminating - homes' energy use for a year
Growing - tree seedlings for 10 years in an urban area
Annual carbon storage of - acres of pine or fir forest
Preserving - acres from deforestation
Saving - propane cylinders
Saving - railcars' worth of coal
Recycling - tons of waste instead of landfilling
Turning off - coal plants for a year
