What this tool does

The Green Living Score gives you a rough measure of how sustainable your day to day habits are, looking at things like what you eat, how you travel, how you heat your home, what you buy and how much you throw away.

It is a starting point, not a carbon audit. The idea is to help you see which parts of your routine have the biggest environmental impact, so you can focus your effort where it actually counts rather than worrying about every small choice.

Who it is for

It is for anyone in the UK who wants to live a bit more sustainably but is not sure where to start, or is not sure if the changes they have already made are making much difference. You might be trying to cut your energy bills, thinking about switching to a heat pump, wondering whether your diet is part of the problem, or just curious how your lifestyle compares to a typical UK household.

It is also useful if you feel pulled in ten directions by conflicting advice online and want a simple steer on what to prioritise first. You do not need any background knowledge, and there are no right or wrong answers.

How it works

You answer a short set of multiple choice questions about your home, travel, food, shopping and waste habits. It takes around three to five minutes. At the end you get a score out of 100, a plain English summary of where you are doing well and where there is room to improve, and a few practical tips suited to your answers. Nothing you enter is saved or linked to you, and you do not need to sign up or share an email address to see your results. If you want to try different scenarios, for example swapping the car for the train on your commute, you can simply run it again.
