Three minutes for a greener future

Three minutes. That's how long it takes to measure your impact on the environment. If you like, you can invest one minute more to offset the impact by enrolling in SMUD's Carbon Offset Program. Your dollars will help build local carbon reductions projects, such as SMUD's Dairy Digester Project. SMUD commissioned this Carbon Calculator to provide you with information that is specific to you, your lifestyle, and the Sacramento area.
