One Planet Calculator & Action Plan
If everyone lived as we do in the UK we’d need three planets to support us.
That’s why we need One Planet Living. But the good news is reducing your environmental impact to a sustainable level is possible and can give you a better quality of life. The ten One Planet Living principles cover all aspects of your life from saving energy and reducing waste to your health and happiness. People all around the world are taking up the One Planet Living challenge.
Calculate your impact
Use our questionnaire to calculate your eco-footprint and carbon emissions. We’ve got a quick and easy version (5 minutes to fill in). You can save your results and come back later. We will soon be launching a longer calculator which will give you more accurate results.
Your Action Plan
Once you’ve filled in the questionnaire you’ll get an Action Plan with tips to reduce your impact on the environment, nurture nature and improve your quality of life.
