1. Remembering to live green can go further than setting a reminder to put out the recycling, buying organic, and saving all your peelings for compost. Apps for environmentalists, it turns out, are.
2. Measure your carbon footprint with Ekos. We all want to help reduce the impacts of climate change. Understanding the carbon footprint of your business is an important place to start. Our aim is to support as many businesses and individuals to understand their carbon footprint in order to make effective and informed reductions.
3. Use our mobile-friendly calculator (available in eight languages) to measure your Ecological Footprint, determine your personal Earth Overshoot Day, and learn about solutions so we can all tread more lightly on the Earth.
4. The Ecological Footprint is an indicator of human pressure on nature. Humanity is currently using the renewable resources of 1.5 Earths to meet our yearly demands for energy, food, shelter, and the things we do and buy.

A water footprint is the amount of water used to produce the goods and services we consume. Water use can be direct such as drinking and household water or it can be indirect such as the life cycle water usage in the production of our food, clothes, gasoline and other goods we use.

The Chemical Footprint Project Survey evaluates responders' chemicals management systems against best practice to measure and reduce chemical footprints.

The Chemical Footprint Project gives companies across all industries tools to evaluate their progress in reducing Chemicals of High Concern and proactively identify opportunities for further action,

Acreage Calculator - Measure the area of a plot of land

The easiest way to measure the acreage of a plot of land is to start by entering an address that is associated with the plot of land you need the area of. In rural areas where an address may not be available, you can enter the cross street or even the GPS coordinate of a point on the land. For GPS coordinates be sure to enter the latitude followed a comma then the longitude ex. (41.87811, -87.629798). In any case this will place a marker that you can use as a reference point to draw the area on the map. Once you are finished drawing the area calculator will display the area of the shape above the map.

How to use the google maps area calculator tool to measure a roof

Measure Your Footprint&your Digital Footprint Worksheet

Special precautions must be taken when measuring the area of a roof. The images that appear on google maps are often at a slight angle, which combined with the angle of a roof can cause errors. For this reason it is best to outline the roof at points which are all at the same elevation. On a simple house for instance you would only click on the corners of the roof and not on any points along the peak as that would cause an error. After measuring the area of the footprint you can estimate the actual roof area based on the angle of the roof. Similarly if you using the area calculator tool to measure a roof with multiple levels, you should do the individual section separately. The google maps area calculator is not 100% accurate. Do not rely on this tool as your only resource in making important decisions.

We now also include the perimeter of the shape that you draw along with the area. This can help you to measure the the edge of a lawn, or the length of a fence
