This site was produced so that an individual carbon dioxide footprint could be quickly calculated and the effects of lifestyle changes could be explored.
Some changes result in a large reduction in carbon dioxide production but it may not be easy to make these changes. Other easy changes may not have much effect.
| Change type table | Small carbon dioxide reductions | Big carbon dioxide reductions |
| Easy lifestyle changes | 1 |

| Hard lifestyle changes | 3 |

If, by using a carbon dioxide footprint calculator, you find some type 2 changes then this is great. If all the changes you could make are type 3 then you have more difficult decisions to make if you want to make a difference. You may find changes that fit all of the types.
The table below shows some of the changes we could make and where they fit in the table. Do you agree?
| Change type table | Small carbon dioxide reductions |

| Easy lifestyle changes | Switch a TV fully off |

| Hard lifestyle changes | Use all recycled clothing |
