Federal agencies have an obligation and responsibility to lead by example and reduce our carbon footprint. We invite you to join EPA Region 4 and reduce your climate impacts by influencing the actions of your organization to reduce your carbon footprint. We are challenging ourselves and all of our Region 4 federal partners to reduce our carbon footprint by reducing greenhouse gas emissions over the next year by managing energy, transportation, waste and water.

Region 4 Carbon Footprint Calculator
The EPA Region 4 Office of Pollution Prevention and Innovation (OPPI) have created a carbon footprint calculator that will tell you your carbon footprint and ways to reduce it. Click here to figure out your carbon footprint.
Personal Emissions Calculator
EPA has developed tools to help individuals (and households) reduce greenhouse gas emissions and take action. This calculator provides an estimate of household greenhouse gas emissions resulting from household energy use and waste disposal, and it gives you information you can use to identify ways to reduce your personal greenhouse gases. The What You Can Do section of the climate change site identifies 30 action steps that individuals can take to decrease greenhouse gas emissions, increase the nation's energy independence, and save money.
