Before we can recommend how much CO2 you need to offset, we need to know a few details about your home. To find out how much CO2 your home emits per year, return to the Calculate Home Emissions page and enter your home's energy use data.

What You Get
• Green Piggy refrigerator magnet for your home.
• Certificate offering verification of your investment.

Will my energy bills be affected?
Not at all. Green Piggy tags do not affect your home energy bills in any way. When you purchase an offset, you are counterbalancing the pollution your home creates by funding a renewable energy project somewhere else in the world.

Is my Green Piggy Home Tag per person or per household?
The emissions calculations are based on your household.

Is my Green Piggy Home Tag tax deductible?
No, it is not tax deductible. Sorry!

How Your Home Emissions Are Calculated
Calculating an individual’s estimated home emissions involves a number of variables and assumptions. We take your state’s average energy consumption data and residence type and then apply a state-level CO₂ emissions coefficient to obtain your home’s greenhouse gas emissions. For a more precise emissions report, refer to your home energy bills to get your exact consumption figures.
