Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
How many pounds of CO2 do you emit every year?
I just filled out a form over at Wired that estimates your CO2 emissions based on a number of factors. My total: 27,312 pounds of CO2 each year. Probably more though because our local power plant uses coal.
My biggest saver: My Prius, which only emits about 4,226 pounds of CO2 each year (had to look it up since Wired’s chart didn’t go up to 45MPG).
My biggest emitter: My house: 15,500 pounds. Second: Air travel: 6,440 pounds.
Apparently if you take your home off the grid that is quite effective at reducing emissions. As solar tech improves I’m sure we’ll start seeing more and more homes that take advantage of it.
What’s your CO2 footprint?
