EPA Calculator Puts Greenhouse Gas Savings in Everyday Terms

“EPA’s new Greenhouse Gas Calculator helps you turn greenhouse gas savings into more easily understood everyday terms. The calculator converts greenhouse gas-related savings estimates, typically presented in “million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents,” into familiar terms such as the greenhouse gas emissions that would result from:

  • Driving a particular number of cars for a year, Using a particular amount of gasoline or barrels of oil, Using a particular number of tanker trucks’ worth of gasoline, Providing energy to a particular number of homes for a year, Growing trees across a particular number of acres for a year, Recycling a particular quantity of waste instead of sending it to the landfill, or Generating electricity from a particular number of coal fired power plants for a year.”
