What is your carbon footprint?
Take this test.

Your carbon footprint is approximately:

This is lower than the Uk average of 9.85
😏 Not bad, eh?

What kind of car? How far?
Do you travel on airplanes at all?


I'd be glad to help you reduce this footprint if I can.

You might want to look into solar heating for swimming pools; whereby solar energy can be used to heat the water for you, and your home.

Here are two links to websites about it.

I had a solar heater for a year or two, but my house isnt positioned right for it, and my roof isnt big enough to collect enough sunlight anyway.

There are certain types of panels that can be placed away from a house, seperately, they also move with the sun: would you have space for one of these?

I dunno, i guess it depends on the type and where exactly it would be located

Overall how many miles would you say you travel each year?
Why do you need such a large car?

Its silly to have a car like that unless you need/use it.

Unfortunately I cannot find any links on it; but I would expect that it would need to take up about 2/2.5 meters cubed, depending on the size of your pool. Would you have a place for this?
