In going about our daily lives - commuting and maintaining a comfortable home - each of us contributes to the atmospheric buildup of carbon dioxide, a key greenhouse gas. The average person causes the release of 1 ton of carbon dioxide for every 3,000 miles driven, 3,500 miles flown or 1,600 kilowatt hours of electricity consumed.

At an estimated metric tons of annual carbon dioxide emissions, your carbon footprint is above the US national average of 27 metric tons annually.
|
|
A total shift to carbon neutral will benefit the environment as much as neutralizing the carbon dioxide emissions of mid-size passenger cars for a year.
