Social Media Carbon footprint Calculator
Test Line for the calculator
Here’s a look at how many grams of CO₂ equivalent (gCO₂Eq) the social media giants could be producing, and you can also use our calculator to estimate how much your own social media usage could be contributing!
Methodology
The average emissions per minute (shown in grams of CO₂ equivalent) for each app were sourced from Greenspector and were measured on a smartphone.
The social media carbon footprint calculator works by taking your number of minutes spent on each social media site and multiplying them by the estimated emissions per minute for that site, before multiplying the daily figure by 365 to calculate the annual footprint.
