The Green Communities carbon footprint tool provides a user-friendly way for individuals to join a local group and to assess changes in their footprint after making improvements. But the footprint calculation itself is fairly basic, especially in relation to transport, and is limited in quality by allowing estimates to be made rather than using real data on energy consumption.
