Whats your footprint size?


I really liked this calculator blip. Its not really an article but it does show where you can cut back & how much CO2 you yourself emit every year. The average American emits 9.44/CO2 a year. Mine is above average at 12.7/CO2 a year. Its shows how much you emit at home, on the road in your car and in the air if you fly. Its kinda a fun thing to do and shows you helpful tips for cutting back in your life style so that you reduce your own emissions and help to make a better place for tomorrow.

  6. I wonder if many people are aware that we, humans, emit CO2 when we breathe – if that’s the case, then imagine all the CO2 caused from that alone! So, let’s just stop breathing.
