Defeat the outside heat CO2 Calculations

Using natural ways of keeping yourself cool when it's warm rather than resorting to air con or fans could save around 2.61 kg CO2 per day (see here for full calculation and assumptions).

The CO2 values in the slider have been averaged over a month, and split equally over the four data points, calculated as follows:

Q. How regularly do you turn your back on electric fans or air con and cool off without machines when the weather's hot?

Endpoints:

Never = 0 kg

Always -  (2.61 kg x 20 days) x (12 months) = 4.35 kg CO2

Midpoints:

A bit - (4.35) x (1/3) = 1.45 kg CO2

A lot - (4.35) x (2/3) = 2.9 kg CO2
