New online tool helps individuals measure, understand, and reduce their carbon impact while supporting reforestation in Kenya
Sidmouth, UK – September 1 2025 – International reforestation charity Word Forest has launched a new Personal Carbon Footprint Calculator, now live at https://www.wordforest.org/personal. The free online tool enables people to quickly and clearly assess their individual climate impact, empowering them to make more sustainable choices and take meaningful steps toward reducing their emissions.
Unlike many other calculators, the Word Forest tool combines simplicity with depth. Users receive an estimate of their annual carbon footprint, along with practical insights into where their biggest emissions come from and how to cut them. It also connects personal lifestyle choices to global solutions by offering the option to support reforestation projects in Kenya, where Word Forest plants trees that restore habitats, sequester carbon, and strengthen vulnerable communities.
“Carbon offset through reforestation in Kenya is not only a vital tool in our energy transition journey, helping us to mitigate climate change and restore natural habitats, it is also an act of social justice. Communities in Kenya and other tropical regions are on the front line of climate change; by investing in their landscapes, we support both the resilience of the planet and the people who are most affected.” said Simon West, CEO of Word Forest.
The calculator is free to use, mobile-friendly, and designed for accessibility, making it easy for anyone to start their journey toward lower-carbon living. By breaking down emissions into clear categories such as transport, home energy, food, and lifestyle, the tool provides personalised results that can inspire immediate, achievable changes.
Word Forest invites individuals, journalists, and organisations to explore the calculator and take part in a growing movement toward climate responsibility.
