Plant some virtual carbon seeds
A model for future carbon calculators, Bloom offers a wide array of 'carbon seeds' visualizing how little actions can add up to something big (and pretty).
Image: Bloom, BBC - Composting all your veggies = 88 kg CO2
- Cutting shower length by 2 minutes = 320 kg CO2
- Insulating water pipes = 70 kg CO2
- Reducing meat eating by 2 servings = 310 kg CO2
I envision a next generation of carbon calculators coming out in 2010 that incorporate some of Bloom's best features -- a much more sophisticated database of individual carbon actions and a user experience that makes the whole process of understanding your real carbon footprint much more fun.
