FAMILY CARBON EMISSION CALCULATOR (FCC)
Note:
1. Section 1 computes your and your family's annual carbon emission.
2. Section 2 further computes your personal carbon emission on the basis of your general charateristics.
3. FCC calculates your annual emission only
4. Sources of carbon intensity factor have been acknowledged.
5. This worksheet is a rough estimate. Not all possible sources of CO2 are listed.
6. All entries are to be annual unless otherwise specified

Do some research and try to find out how the electricity in your area is generated (coal, gas, wind, etc).
Your parents, teachers or local electricity company might be able to enlighten you.
Accordingly fill in box a, b or c with the total annual kWh units (obtain from electricity bills).
If you cannot find out the source of your electricity then fill in the total annual kWh units in box d.
