Pollution Calculators

Pollution Action Questionnaires

instructional video here?

How to Boycott:

1. look at the Questionnaires

2. take on the Solutions

Instructions:

1.) Skim the questionnaires quickly. Guess at the answers.

2.) Don't get distracted by offset-selling or donation-asking!

The two questionnaires can be confusing. Don't worry. Stick with fast'n'sloppy estimates.

1. Carbon Pollution Questionnaire (4 minutes): carbonindependent.org/

- in the Flights section, substitute the US for the UK, or make a guess about annual in-air hours

- at the end, note the total number of tonnes CO2

- when done, come back to boycottpollution.org!

2. Ecological Questionnaire (5 mins.): footprintcalculator.org/home/en

- when you get to the last page, hit SKIP TO VIEW MY RESULTS

- then note the number for Your Carbon Footprint; (CO2 emissions in tonnes per year)

So how many tons of CO2e pollution do you make

compared to others?

"Quantifying how much ... it takes

to support one’s lifestyle

helps us ... learn what we can do."

(from Science and the Global Environment, 2017; by Alan McIntosh and Jennifer Pontius)

You can re-take the questionnaires at any time,

but your personal pollution production won't start to decline

until you make Solutions happen.
