Hey guys,

I came across a pretty neat calculator for computing your household and individual emissions.

I was surprised to find out how much CO2 a single vehicle puts out over the course of a year (average of 12,500 lbs/year)!  Crazy!

My vehicle only puts out about 5,300 lbs/year, so I'm pretty far under the average.  ;)

I've used a calculator before and was surprised that I was coming in under the norm. Even thought I live alone and commute to work: I guess my veganism pays.

Does anyone find that these calculators motivated you to change your habits at all? The calculation didn't change mine...

The calculator there wouldn't load for me. Maybe it's my computer?
