Crunch the Numbers

If you're really serious about making a chance for the better, consider starting with the new Low Impact Living Environmental Impact Calculator . This brand-new household environmental calculator is the first of its kind -- it shows not only the carbon footprint but also energy, water, wastewater, trash, and stormwater runoff footprints of your home and lifestyle. In addition, it recommends projects based on your specific inputs that can save you money, reduce your environmental impact, or in many cases both at the same time! The Impact Calculator also calculates a score called the Low Impact Living Index (LILI) that encapsulates in one number your overall environmental footprint. It allows comparisons to other homes near you and across the country. The Impact Calculator and LILI combined provide you with a clear roadmap to a greener home and lifestyle!
