Here, for all you jokers who seem more concerned about what the other guy is doing, what's your contribution to the problem?

see Emissions Calculator http://www.airhead.org/

1076 Pounds of emmisions this month!

Still 600 pounds less than those polluting American bastards

Wait till winter when my gas bill goes from $30 to $200 per month. Likely my emmisions will double.

To compensate I won't mow the lawn this weekend instead letting it grow good and long to "filter" out the bad stuff I'm emmitting.

I don't think I'll even try that... I burned off 1300 lbs or so of jet-A before lunch the other day... I'd probably be off the scale!

Edit: What a crappy calculator! Nowhere to fill in the hours you've spent playing with turbine powered aircraft during the last month! Sheesh!

Cheers,

CUTE.

No provision for non road diesel. No provision for propane (I assumed this was rolled into Natural gas) No provision for how much did you EARN selling surplus electricity to the power co. No provision for if you produced "green power" how much did you produce. No provision for wood, coal or buffalo chip burning stoves.

Methinks this is a guide for those gross polluting citified type folks!

Oh, 536 using their calculator, course like I said no provision for ...

Yikes! I dug out some old tax records from when I was working out of San Jose CA. June 1997 I did 5924 pounds.

Like I said CUTE!

Cars create lots of pollution. I actually hope, that fuel reserves would end tomorrow, so we would HAVE to implement the new, already built alternative technology.

hehe OK filthy Americans and filthy Europeans

- see if you can beat this:

88lbs

No car (not allowed on my island). No Airplane rides...

Bit of an US-biased test, and very inaccurate I fear - there's no entries for public transport (I take a ferry to town and use the Underground/Buses/Minibuses in town) but mostly I work at home. So all I got to calculate is my electricity bill (1354 kWh - a heavy month - very hot weather). I can't work out how much gas I used from my LPG cylinder (no meter) - but I've had the thing for about two years and it's 13.5kg of gas, so I guessed US$10 - it's probably less (the whole thing costs about US$15, but piped gas is more expensive).
