A website is allowing people across Ireland to calculate their carbon footprint. Speaking at the launch, Environment Minister John Gormley said that everybody had a role to play in tackling climate change. Mr Gormley said: "Finding your carbon count number is only the first step. "The big commitment that we want people to make is to reduce and to manage their carbon emissions so that together we can reduce Ireland's carbon emissions and tackle climate change."
