Online carbon calculator
Updated on 20 June 2007
The Environment Minister David Miliband has launched the government's new online carbon calculator.
Individual carbon trading is key, and a new online carbon calculator is going to help us understand it.
Environment minister David Miliband's department's latest attempt to combat climate change is a simple online tool.
Families can enter information about how much energy they use at home, and even how much water they use to make a cup of tea to tot up their carbon output on the DirectGov website.

Mr. Miliband launched the initiative at an internet cafe this morning
