Estimate the resources your lifestyle uses and your personal Overshoot Day

Meet Ecological Footprint Calculator

The Ecological Footprint Calculator estimates the productive land and sea area needed to support a person's lifestyle. Questions about food, housing, transport, and goods adjust a national-average model. Results include a personal Overshoot Day and an estimate of how many Earths would be needed for everyone to live similarly.

The result combines personal consumption with a share of societal services, so household choices do not control every component. Carbon emissions form one part of the wider resource-demand measure. Explanations help users inspect the categories and explore lifestyle changes without treating the ecological result as equivalent to an emissions-only carbon calculation.
