What is YOUR Carbon Footprint

April 19, 2007

mark-leno-earth.jpgThis Sunday at 6:00 PM, Assemblymember Mark Leno will be hosting his first Communities of Interest Policy Talks on Global Warming solutions. The goal is to brainstorm about ways we can reverse global warming… starting right here in Marin, Sonoma and San Francisco. Together, we can harness our combined creativity to drive new solutions.

While Assemblymember Leno has a long history of critical environmental policy,  there are important steps individuals can and should take to be part of the solution.

One way you can begin this process is to take a few minutes to calculate your carbon emissions so that you know your carbon footprint and can measure your progress towards reducing global warming.

There are numerous websites that serve this role, but we recommend you visit former Vice President Al Gore’s Carbon Calculator. It is very easy, just input some basic information on your household’s travel and energy consumption and the website will tell you how many tons of carbon you are responsible for putting into the atmosphere. This benchmark number will provide you the ability to quantify your individual progress.

Thanks, in advance, for taking a moment to join in this movement. We hope you can join us for Sunday’s online discussion at 6 PM — www.MarkLeno.com.
