6,000 pound club:
By taking the total amount of environmentally
acceptable carbon emissions and dividing them by the global population it yields the acceptable amount of carbon emissions per person. I found out that last
year every human being should’ve emitted around 6,424 lbs. of carbon. (People
actually emitted an average of around 15,418 lbs.) This year that number is safely around 6,000 lbs. To

Car-bon footprint: when cars
burn one gallon of gasoline it releases
about 20 lbs of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. My Annabel drives about 25
miles per gallon. By checking my trusty driving log I see that I’ve driven about
5,252.6 miles. This year I’ve burned about 4,202.8 pounds of carbon. To
