Here's a carbon-footprint calculator tailored especially for the young 'uns: Zerofootprint's KidsCalculator measures a child's impact on the planet by asking questions in context with their lifestyles. One typical question, for instance, is "Did you bring your lunch in a bag or a lunch box?"

The questionnaire is split into five categories: Transportation, What You Eat, Home & School, What You Use, and What You Throw Away. Results are tallied in terms of tonnes of carbon dioxide emitted per year, and are helpfully contrasted with the average emissions use of different nationalities, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, and the United States.

Be sure not to miss the extensive resources the site has listed for teachers and parents, because you're going to find yourself fielding a lot of questions after this-and that's the best part. ::Zerofootpring KidsCalculator
