What if I live outside the US?
Right now our site is optimized for US users. In particular, the data we use in our footprint calculator is specific to the US. We hope to expand to include other areas over time, but our emissions models are quite complicated and require good, high-resolution data… so don’t hold your breath.
That said, don’t despair if you live outside the US! You can still use our conservation tips to reduce your footprint and learn about the climate impact of transportation (especially flights) and home energy. If you live in Toronto, the estimates should be pretty good. If you live in Timbuktu, they’ll be, well, a bit rough.
And because we all share the same sky, counteracting your emissions with our carbon offsets makes the same impact on climate change no matter where you live.

Ditching your car for pedal power just got way easier. Google announced today that they’ve added bicycling directions to Google Maps. In doing so, they’ve helped to eliminate one of the biggest obstacles to getting people in the saddle — finding safe and easy routes through hilly, traffic-choked landscapes. The new feature avoids roads that are [...]. Read more
