Are you a Carbon Sasquatch?

Definition of a Carbon Sasquatch: The total amount of greenhouse gases produced to directly and indirectly suppor human activities, usually expressed in equivalent tons of Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

In simpler terms.....You add CO2 to the atmosphere when you:

1. Drive a car: Burning fossil fuels emits CO2 into the atmosphere.
2. Heat your house with gas or oil
3. Use Electricity to power home and gadgets.

Your "Carbon Footprint" is the total amount of CO2 that you personally add to the atmosphere each year.
