ABOUT US

 

This website was established to bring together an overall public list of CO2 content of ordinary items. Previously the information has been in specialized sources scattered on the web.

 

The goal is to bring together the most complete list of estimates for CO2, item-by-item, free on the web, so we will know how to reduce our daily use of CO2. Tell us any data we missed.

 

The site editor is Paul Burke, a US statistician. He does not have ties to the energy industry, since his career has been in data analysis, housing, education, and water quality. He has consulted for the UN Development Program on issues in the environment, development, economics, poverty, gender, military spending, and education. He has led seminars at University of California-Berkeley, Columbia University, Venezuela's National Council on Human Resources, US Census Bureau; and International Labor Statistics Center of the US Department of Labor. Other projects he has been involved in are at NumbersInstitute.com.

 

Costs (and CO2 output) of the website are low, so it takes no outside money. All sources of information are welcome. In order to grow, the site needs volunteers to do tasks like the following:

 

* Create a comparable page or columns in metric units

* Improve design of the web pages

* Take the entire website into a larger environmental organization

* Improve data on CO2 from solar, wind, nuclear, hydroelectricity, biofuels

* Identify an effective translation button

* Improve rank on search engines

* Continue finding more CO2 data

 

Please send whatever information you can, as much as possible in the same format used here.
