Carbon Calculators
The three calculators below look at how much an individual uses per year and how that compares with other Americans. The Own It carbon offsetting tonnage will always be greater than any number a calculator provides for two reasons. One is because Own It Economics uses a smaller population (adults in the middle class and above), not the average amongst all people. The other is we look to offset carbon since 1850, whereas calculators just look at one's carbon footprint as they live. 

Finding out your Own It contribution amount can be done in three steps:
  1. Use the calculator to find out how big your carbon footprint is.
  2. Find out how you stack up against other Americans. For example: is your footprint only 80% of average?
  3. Use that percentage and multiply it times the average of Own It Economics Population of 113 tonnes a year.

​Feel free to email any questions, as this site is intended to provide all the information you need to Own It, so we'd love to hear if we forgot something.
