Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 24, 2007 -- Green Progress, a leading environmental news site, has released a new Carbon Footprint Calculator in time for Earth Day. By using this calculator, individuals can see their footprint based on the emissions produced from their home, garbage, recycling, driving, air travel, as well as eating habits. This simple to use calculator can show an estimate of their contribution to global warming, as well as offer tips on how to immediately reduce their impact.

To make the results more familiar to most people, a letter grade is given based on the total calculated emissions. To keep things simple, users will probably be able to answer most of the questions off the top of their head. They don't have to worry if they don't know exactly how many kWh of electricity they use, or how many cubic feet of natural gas they use.

The goal of the Green Progress Carbon Footprint Calculator is to make individuals more aware of the size of their impact on the environment. Once they calculate their footprint, the site will offer many easy suggestions on how to reduce their individual impact. Not everyone can run out and by a hybrid or install solar panels on their house, but there are still many small things they can do to reduce their impact in a big way.
