As I mentioned in an earlier post we're really excited about the fact that we've chosen 100% wind power for the building. The folks at Rewable Choice Energy tell us that we'll be avoiding putting 154,401 lbs. of CO2 in the air each year. So, I asked them, what does 154, 401 lbs. of CO2 mean?
Well, it turns out that it's similar to:
- Taking 13 passenger cars off the road for a year
- Not building nine new homes
- Not using 2,918 propane cylinders in my home barbeque (that's a lot of burgers)
- Not using 163 barrels of oil--or 7,958 gallons of gasoline
- Not taking six trips around the world--or one trip to the moon in a passenger car
When you put it that way, wind power seems like a good idea.
