There are also energy footprints and transportation footprints. This is put together by Cool Climate Network which is a University - Government - NGO Partnership at the University of California, Berkeley. The link below is the accompanying article:

1. Interesting. What it makes clear is

that, if a large carbon footpring is deadly, then the suburbs are killing us. DC, Philly, Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Chicago lakefront -- all green. But move beyond the city limits? Red, as far as you can see.

2. I live in the SF Bay Area

The transportation footprint is huge in this area which is shown in blue. The Bay Area has many cities but they're all one massive city completely surrounding the SF Bay and the only real mode of travel is by car on the freeways. The CO2 footprint is horrendous!
