Under Kyoto, we are asked to play our part as individuals, as well as seeking CO2 reductions in our schools, colleges, cities, businesses, industries and nations.

Here to help are some efficiency charts which you can print and glue onto a folded piece of cardboard. If you fill them in on a regular basis, you can watch your personal and household CO2 emissions, and track your improvements:
