So I have decided 'stuff' has to go so I can travel more.

That’s the answer - no stuff and stop eating. Eat in the USA then it’s Donald’s problem! Oh, hang on, he’s a non- believer.

89% but to be honest I was surprised it was that high.

We eat vegetarian a lot, I get a lift to and walk home from work, we don't heat our house much (put a jumper on instead!), use renewable heating energy etc. I am very conscious of my carbon footprint and always looking to reduce it any way I can.

Also only buy cruelty free products, avoid palm oil where possible etc, but I suppose they are not directly linked with my carbon footprint.

We were in Borneo recently and were amazed/appalled at the extent of the palm oil plantations. Mile after mile of jungle gone forever - it really brought it home and we have vowed not to buy products containing palm oil. Never really thought about it before.

I'm 10 on the dot. Mostly because I'm poor because I'm saving for a house Haha and I dont drive 😂

[Fawkes]

16.1 tonnes for me. I do drive a gas guzzler though and have lots of pets!

[novocastrian]

13 tonnes

6 flights in the last year dosnt help as does being penalised for only having 2 people over 17 in a 4 bed house i guess

never use a train & only use buses for football matches @19 times a year

drive every day for work

11.2 here mainly due to our recent holiday- however I’ve not flown for 10years previously (had UK holidays), so was hoping it’d be lower!

Helen I can't see how yours is so low, you fly more than I do. X

[danisleigh]

12.2 tonnes! I can’t blame flights as we only went once last year, most of mine was stuff!

Thank you for posting this, it was really interesting. I was 13 tonnes and 54% was travel. Three return flights last year, possibly none in next 12 months so hopefully mine will come down.
