All told our household worked out to be about 7.5-8 tonnes, most of which was transport (due to two cars, and now living in the back-end of nowhere). Not bad – considering we’re on oil central heating (which I always understood to be one step off burning tyres to keep warm), I thought we’d be much worse than we are.

I'm not sure how they would differ, because it asked lots of questions about my household.</p> Ah, I did the individual option; I should have mentioned that.

I did the "household" option and got a result of 7.25 tonnes per year which I was of course thinking required me to be slung instantly into the outer darkness being on the way to double your result... but then I compared to the national average and that turns out to be 10.22 tonnes per year. So I'm confused. Feeling slightly smug, but confused.</p> Interesting.

Superb. “A life-striped bear”. I sense a book deal in the offing.

I’m going to take the bloody emission test thingy, ok? Does it include methane and other greenhouse gases? I have two small but efficient producers of biogas which might push up my index.
