Joining the CO2 Stats Project

My Green Dog Blog has added in the online tool for the CO2 Stats Project to keep track of our the carbon dioxide that results from Web traffic to this site. You can see the tracking tool as the bright green box in the side bar.

Once the widget / tool is installed on websites, it monitors Web sites and blogs for the amount of climate-warming carbon dioxide their visitors to a particular site consume and then offsets it for free.

The CO2 Stats counter was developed by Alex Wissner-Gross from Harvard and Tim Sullivan at Yale, both are PhD candidates.

For each pound of carbon dioxide that results from Web traffic to a site where the widget is installed, the project buys carbon offsets from Sustainable Travel International.

Remember renewable energy is good for the environment.
The more renewable energy we support, the less non-renewable energy will be required in the future.
