Counting the carbon cost |
|
In recent times, the effects of increased industrialisation on the environment has been made increasingly apparent.
Within just over two centuries, the amount of carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere has increased by 150%.
Counting Thoughts has been involved with the creation of several carbon calculator projects-software designed to calculate the
amount of carbon produced by an individual in a year.
We foresee that these calculators will raise public awareness about carbon emission whilst promoting
strategies for a more ecological lifestyle.
Why not try out one of these calculators for yourself HERE
