Citizens living in the Chesapeake Bay watershed who want to live and eat healthy while helping the health of the bay now have a handy online tool with which to better understand how individual lifestyle decisions cascade into the environment. A newly released "Bay Footprint" calculator – which focuses on nitrogen pollution – helps citizens to see how diet and other choices affect the bay's health, and how changed behaviors can improve the bay.
