Carbon calculator
Two new online carbon calculators were developed by D-mat for Hungarian and Latvian households. By using these households easily can identify their respective lifestyle domains (e.g. housing, mobility, nutrition or leisure) where the greatest potentials lie for reducing their individual and/or household carbon footprints.
The two carbon calculators are available here in the native languages:
- Hungarian: http://karbonkalkulator.hu
