ReFLEX Orkney has today, 22nd April,  launched a new Orkney carbon calculator to help islanders evaluate their carbon footprint and provide recommendations and support to reduce it.

The 5-10 minute survey includes sections on household energy, diet, consumables and travel.

Once complete, ReFLEX will calculate your personal or household carbon footprint, providing a breakdown of different sectors to indicate the biggest contributors and a comparison to UK and global averages.

The carbon calculator is designed for residents of Orkney but open for all to try.

Results will help illuminate areas where you’re living a low-carbon lifestyle and those in which you could improve.
