Calculating your green debt
A handy little website has sprung up that helps people calculate their ‘green debt’ and then offers ways to pay it back.
My Green Debt (best viewed in IE, not Firefox, as Greenbang discovered) allows you to enter the details of how profligate you are with your carbon and then calculates your total debt. From here, it suggests a huge array of possible solutions (from sharing with more people to switching energy suppliers), shows offset providers and allows you to calculate how you’ve cut your debt over time. (See how it works here).
This Greenbanger nervously entered his details and waited for it to be tallied up. Fortunately he scraped in a measly 3% below the UK average. More work to be done, clearly!
