Carbon Footprint:
Apple iPhone

One iPhone is equivalent to:
72kg CO2e
365.5 km of driving
39.3 m3 of CO2 Gas

Carbon footprints are based on many factors that are in flux, for example where a product is made, what fuels that energy system uses, how far it has to travel to reach its end destination and so on. For this reason, the carbon footprint of any individual product will change. The numbers provided are overall representations of carbon footprint provided to give context about what is generally higher or lower, not individual calculations for your own individual situation.

Hello person of earth! I built this website in my spare time but due to financial trouble and increasing work hours, I am struggling to keep it updated and respond to requests. I have spent over $1000 to keep this online over the last few years - not including my time spent building it. Keep reading below...

I built this to help people get easier access to a clearer perspective on the emissions of everyday products. I didn't know if anyone would actually use it. Since then the website has received more attention than I ever expected, and I love that people are finding it useful so I have kept paying for it to stay online at my own personal expense.

If I was able to receive some small donations, it would help me to put time towards updating this project and responding to requests. What may seem like a small amount truly could make a big difference in helping me to keep this project alive.

Thank you for even reading this, and have a lovely day. We're in this together.

If you would like to, you can buy me a coffee here to donate: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/co2e
