We help you as a Citizen
What is your personal footprint?
Your personal carbon footprint is the sum of all the greenhouse gas emissions caused by your daily activities - transportation, food, energy at home, leisure, etc.
To give you an idea, the average person in Spain emits around 5.5 tCO₂e per year.
