Carbon calculators are too complicated. How many people are going to analyse their electricity usage or accurately assess the number of miles or kilometres they drive every year? Almost none. How much meat do you eat every year? Seriously?
Here’s a carbon calculator I have implemented that simplifies the whole process of calculating individual carbon emissions. Underlying the calculator is a proprietary algorithm that uses peer-reviewed data and publicly available information to calculate individual carbon emissions. I don’t claim that it’s 100% accurate. However, it’s more important to get within 80%-90% accuracy and get people to pay for offsetting, than it is to risk losing customers by presenting them with onerous calculations. The code is available as an iframe on your website and can be customised with your logo, text and carbon price for a modest annual subscription fee. Leave your contact details in the comments section below and I’ll get in touch.
Would be interested in getting more info
Hi Jenny. We can put the carbon calculator on your web page for £135/year which includes regular updates of the background data and improvements to the algorithm. Contact me on mkmusgrave@gmail.com if you’d like to chat in more detail.
Yes
Send me an email at mkmusgrave@gmail.com and I’ll send you more information.
I like the carbon calculator.
Hi Mike,
I would like to get this setup on SafariDeal.com please. What is the process? Do you add the logo etc? Also, once the user has calculated the fee, where do they pay?
Thanks
Robin
excellent idea! Good to have options also of where/to whom one can pay to offset?
This calculator will be hosted on the company website of the organisation that will be doing the offsetting. Payment integration will be part of the implementation on that particular website.
