My Carbon Footprint

Thanks to Dan's brother Ken for leading me to this.

Evdentally BP has a campaign going about carbon emissions awareness. They have commercials running that promote their website where you can calculate approximately how much carbon your household is emitting. Then, gives suggestions on what you can do to lower those levels, often times resulting in saving money as well.

Anyway, my carbon footprint was calculated at 11 tonnes CO2 per year. This is lower than the United States average of 18.58 tonnes per year. And just as I suspected all along, our old house was the majority of the "where energy is being used" pie chart.

This picture was generated based on the answers to my questions.

Do it. It's an eye opener!
