I plug in the numbers and they do all the hard work. When&#8217;s the last time you used a carbon footprint calculator? Try <A href="http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/emissions/ind_calculator2.html" target=_blank>this one </a>from the Environmental Protection Agency and see how your energy usage compares to the usage of other Americans. I like this calculator because in addition too seeing how you stack up&nbsp;against your&nbsp;neighbors, you learn about small changes you can make to shrink your footprint. In the next few posts we&#8217;ll talk more about water calculators, electricity calculators and nifty ways you can reduce your&nbsp;consumption.</p> calculator carbon footprint reduce Thu, 10 Nov 2011 15:37:29 +0000 Sara T 304278 at http://www.waukeganpl.org
