Diet

Your carbon footprint is the sum of the greenhouse gases your lifestyle emits each year. The big levers are usually flying, driving, home energy, and diet. The global average is about 4.7 tonnes per person, but a livable-planet target is closer to 2 tonnes. Estimates use typical emission factors and will vary by region.

Governing equation

Reading this result: Diet is your single biggest slice at 2.5 t of the 8.7 t total, so that is where a cut moves the needle most — one long-haul flight can outweigh a whole year of driving.

Carbon Cycle Box ModelLive

Presets

Carbon moves between four great reservoirs — atmosphere, surface ocean, deep ocean, and biosphere — through exchange fluxes. Add fossil emissions to the atmosphere box and watch how slowly the oceans and land can draw it back down. The deep ocean is huge but exchanges slowly.

Atmosphere875 GtC
CO₂410 ppm

Governing equation

Reading this result: At 10 GtC/yr the surface ocean and biosphere buffer part of the input, but they saturate, so atmospheric CO₂ keeps drifting upward rather than settling.
