Came from the second site, months ago. Just about to get rid of the air travel one; haven't flown since April. Electricity since July about 2000KW; went solar then. Used 112 KW in Jan.

Electricity 10,388 kWh 3,000 kWh 979 lbs
Heating
Natural Gas 812 CCF
Automobile Travel 556 gal 935 gal 18,284 lbs
Air Travel 962 mi 1,600 mi 2,176 lbs
Total: 21,439 lbs

According to these calculations, your activities in the past year account for 21,439 lbs of greenhouse gases. It would require 15 Green Tags to have these activities become 100% climate neutral for each year.
