A ‘Carbon Footprint’ calculator found the number of tons of carbon dioxide generated by a family of 4 living in suburban Maryland, driving one car (26 mpg) for 14,000 miles each year, and taking 3 long flights and 4 short flights each year. The family recycles, uses energy-efficient appliances and lights, and organically grown food. The household produced 50 tons of carbon dioxide each year. The US average for such a household is 110 tons, and the world average is 22 tons/year.
Find a Carbon Footprint calculator on the Internet, and fill out the required information for your home. How does your per-person carbon production compare with the 12 tons per person each year produced by the Maryland family in the example?
