Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to an environmental impact analysis system configured for providing a graphical user interface for displaying a plurality of user consumption inquiries soliciting user input relating to user consumption of one or more resources; receiving user input comprising user consumption data responsive to one or more of the user consumption inquiries; displaying one or more impact reduction goals representing potential user actions that would result in a lesser environmental footprint; and receiving user input comprising goal completion data indicating user completion of one or more of the impact reduction goals. Various embodiments of the system are further configured to determine user impact values indicative of the environmental footprint resulting from user consumption of the one or more resources, and to determine revised user impact values indicative of the user's reduced environmental footprint due to completed impact reduction goals.
