Calculate and reduce your carbon emissions with Zerofootprint and Yahoo! Green

Two new tools for combating global warming launched today. Zerofootprint's Carbon Calculator determines your current CO2 emissions based on your lifestyle; and Yahoo! Green assembles your plan for reduction.

Over at Zerofootprint enter the kind of car you own and the number of miles you drive it per year, your air travel habits, your electricity bill and other carbon emissions-related info, and the calculator tells you how many tons of CO2 you're adding to the environment. At Yahoo! Green, make the list of small changes you can make to reduce that number - like keeping your tires inflating, driving the speed limit, replacing light bulbs and reducing your meat intake.
