We are all contributing to global warming, pollution and otherwise damaging our environment – each and every one of us personally. Maybe big companies and corporations do more damage than you as an individual, but you are still doing damage. Hopefully you are already acting responsibly and trying to minimize that damage, or maybe you are here to find out ways in which you can live a greener, more environmentally-friendly lifestyle. So here’s one thing for you to consider… what’s your carbon footprint for your personal computer use?
I must admit this is something I had thought about briefly and then totally forgot about as I strive to improve my Reduce, Reuse, Recycle process. But today I came across this great article, complete with links to Carbon Footprint Calculators so you can calculate your personal computing Carbon Footprint. Of course you won’t have the impact of a major corporation, but imagine the impact you can have over your lifetime of neutralizing your own carbon footprint? It is worth doing… positive change begins with individuals and this article gives you ways to make a positive difference.

Hi there. Great post. My business partner and I are just launching a project (www.littlegreengenie.com) to help address this very issue. Our free software will enable computer users to accurately measure and then automatically offset the emissions created through the manufacture and/or ongoing use of their computer. Thanks for the post and I wish you well
