The choice of energy sources plays a key role here: in the UK, Portugal and France, a much higher share of electricity is produced from nuclear and renewable sources — you can explore this electricity mix by country here. Prosperity is a primary driver of CO 2 emissions, but clearly policy and technological choices make a difference.
Many countries in the world still have very low per capita CO 2 emissions. In just 2. There are very large inequalities in per capita emissions across the world. Click to open interactive version.

For taxis, you can add this mileage to your car travel numbers, while trains or buses should be calculated separately, as they are significantly more efficient than personal vehicles.
Look at a bill from a recent month: your water bills should not change significantly between months — barring sprinklers or lawn-watering in the summer and spring. Heating is tricky, but if you have a leftover bill from a transition month — April or September are both excellent — you can probably multiply those values by 12 for the total yearly cost.
If not, use your most recent bill, multiply by 12, then scale the number accordingly. Subtract from the final value if you it is from a winter month, and add to it if it is during a summer month.
Check all your cleaning supplies and see what types of chemicals they contain. My suggestion would be to find more eco-friendly cleaning options, and if you have a lot of wood furniture, your furniture will also keep your furniture shinier and in good condition for longer. Avoid paper cleaning products and sponges as well. Good microfiber cleaning clothes can be just as effective, if not more effective, for your cleaning needs. What you buy will have a significant impact on your final calculations.
Different foods have diverse carbon outputs for production, and for the amount of methane and carbon they contribute to the atmosphere. This step will be immeasurably easier if you have a regular budget for food and other purchases. If not, the calculations are still manageable. Once you have split the values, multiply by 12 for monthly values, or by 52 for weekly.
Even the former UK deputy prime minister John Prescott recently said that per capita emissions are the fairest way of thrashing out a deal in Copenhagen. Guardian readers believe it's fairer too.
