Yet, <strong>there are many things each of us – as individuals – can do to reduce emissions.</strong> The choices we make in our homes, our travel, the food we eat, and what we buy and throw away can help ensure a stable climate for future generations.</p><p><strong>Use The Nature Conservancy's carbon footprint calculator</strong> at http://www.nature.org/initiatives/climatechange/calculator/ to measure your – or your household's – climate impact. The calculator will estimate how many tons of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases your choices create each year. <strong>It's quick, easy-to-use, and fun!</strong></p><p>All of the scientifically verified data used in this carbon footprint calculator is listed at http://www.nature.org/popups/misc/art20625.html -- the end result is that your carbon footprint may appear to be higher when you use this carbon calculator, but it's also much more <em>accurate.</em></p>00false11547false547servicehttp://www.nature.org/initiatives/climatechange/calculator/9false0Calculate your carbon footprint using real, SCIENTIFIC data02010-01-20T00:42:01+00:0036874200
