This was neat... a carbon emissions calculator.
It doesn't factor everything you do that contributes to greenhouse gasses. Everything you buy/eat as a cinsumer contributes to the number. It has to be grown, manufactured/processed, packaged, shipped, stocked, sold, brought home, cooked, thrown away....

After watching Six Degrees Could Change the World on National Geographic, I feel like even if I sat in the corner and consumed nothing for the rest of my life it still wouldn't be enough. This could become a reality in my lifetime, not just my daughter's.
