I’ve just put up a tool at YouSustain called How Much CO2 Is That?, which I think is pretty neat.  You can enter (or pick) an amount of CO2 emissions and it will show you how much of lots of other activities/things would generate that much.

One of my favourites, that’s still blowing my mind, is that a typical single trans-Atlantic flight for a 747 could emit 220 tons of CO2!  That’s about 76 tons of fuel.  Wow.  That fuel alone would weigh about as much as 36 average cars.

I’ve struggled with how best to convey the information on the page, so please give any feedback you have, and if you like it, share with friends to show them something cool!
