Has anyone else filled in one of these besides me?

I just tried out
http://actonco2.direct.gov.uk/carboncalc/html/index.aspx


Our 2 person household is 7.41 against a national average of 9.96 tonnes
per year.
Does that give me the right to walk around with my holier than thou nose
in the air?


I am still trying to work out how we use so much quite frankly according
to them. Two of us. I run a dishwasher when full - three times a week.
Washing machine once a week. I cook once a week and microwave the rest of
it ( dinners that is). One meal a day for two people.

I was asked if I had a microwave and nothing else was asked about it. I have
not used it once this year, so how does that fit into the calculations?
