Google launches UK carbon footprint calculator
First up, Google has a new carbon footprint calculator that lets you determine your current carbon footprint. You can then compare your score with users elsewhere in the UK. You can add the calculator to your personalized Google homepage (if you have one), and check your score on a regular basis. You can also add a Google gadget that will offer daily tips for cutting back on your carbon emissions.
Google's hardly the first company, or even the first internet search portal to offer a carbon footprint calculator. Yahoo! already has one as part of its Green Pages. But Google's calculator is much more detailed, and therefore likely more accurate than the Yahoo! calculator. Now if only it were available outside of a single country.
