  • Emissions visualization – shows how much carbon dioxide we release into the atmosphere.
  • Personal CO2 emissions calculator – translates your lifestyle into the carbon footprint. Attractive form and easy to use interface is combined with advanced algorithms and database of all countries. Calculations are based on the selected country’s energy mix, climate and purchasing power.
  • Climate change simulator – shows how our individual emissions of carbon dioxide sum up and increase its concentration in the atmosphere, what is the role of carbon sinks and how important climate feedbacks are. You will see, how these factors change the amount of energy received by the surface, how much will increase the Earth’s temperature and how will the Earth’s future look like, when the temperature will grow degree by degree. You will also be able to easily change the climate model parameters and limit our CO2 emissions.

Our initiative is not limited to the Internet – we also give lectures, take part in TV and radio recordings and do our best in every way we can to impact a large scale paradigm change.

Tapping into the power of a well told tale, the Climate Advocates devised a teaching pack accompanying the classic Dr. Seuss story, The Lorax, to educate children aged between seven and nine of the issues around sustainability, consumption of goods and the future of the planet.
