Welcome to Global Warming! It's Here; It's Now! So what are YOU gonna do?


Why Not?

If anyone reading this, who perhaps knows they should do more yet for whatever reason don't, please comment. I want to know what obstacles or objections other people have. Maybe there can be solutions found for everyone.

Carbon Footprint Calculator Results

Drum roll please...

My results from http://www.climatechange.gc.ca/calculator/english/
was 1.5 tonnes
My results from http://www.bp.com/carboncalculator.do?categoryId=9008641&contentId=7025802
was 2 tonnes.
As it turns out I didn't like this one as much as the other one(and no,not because I got a higher rating). I found the first one easier to use and a little more detailed.

So there you have it folks. I roughly emit 2 tonnes of CO2 per year, give or take a few lbs. (it's probably really about 3 because it's not completely accurate and leaves out a few things, but I believe it's close). I have made a lot of changes in a year so had I done it last year, I probably would have been at least 5. And the funny thing is that I don't even really notice the changes much (except the one where I take the bus now instead of drive). They seem to be so inconsequential, all it takes is a little awareness and consideration, and realizing just how much we waste needlessly.
