Knowing your footprint is the first step to taking action.  Your carbon footprint is the calculation off all your actions every day and their impact on the level of carbon in the air.  This is what, in effect, causes global warming.  By knowing and setting goals to reduce your carbon footprint, you can lessen your impact on global worming. 

Your water footprint calculates how much water you use each day.  Water shortages and lack of drinking water are becoming a common phenomenon around the world, and many scientists and environmentalists believe that water will be the next global environmental challenge.  Knowing your water footprint and working to reduce your water use will make an important contribution to preventing a future water shortage catastrophe.

There are many tools and formulas you can use to calculate your carbon footprint and water footprint. You can use our carbon and water calculators below, or use one of the other websites listed.
