Question

Hey! For a school project, I wanted to do something about the environment.

I was wondering how you calculate your carbon footprint by hand, and if there's some sort of formula for it?

I know there's a lot of factors but unfortunately I can't figure out what the actual formula is online and my teacher also doesn't know.
Thanks!

Answer 1

I have a hunch that is a doctoral dissertation, not a school project. Start with the diesel tractors on the farm growing your breakfast. Then of course the coal plant generating the electricity in your house. Do you wear clothes that came by diesel powered ships from China and then by truck to the steam heated warehouse then to the oil heated store? It just goes on and on.
However try google or

Answer 2

Bruh I don't even know what "doctoral dissertation" means... I can't tell if this is a real answer or not. No matter though because I've changed my project idea, my brother told me the calculation is really complicated.
