above is a picture of a caterpillar with camouflage. it looks like a leaf and I almost hit it while I'm scaling the railing. frankly, I've never seen such beautiful caterpillar after decades wandering on earth. however my kids have the opportunity to experience the beauty of nature.
then I remember that I have a copy of PAS2050 - 'specification for the assessment of the life cycle green house gas emissions of goods and services' and its guide notes. so starting today I'll put the carbon footprint calculation on every blog. from the guide I found that for every kWhr used in our house, we actually contribute equivalent to about 0.5 kg carbon dioxide to atmosphere. in PAS2050, they are talking about certain period. but for my purpose, I'll just calculate the carbon footprint that I left into the atmosphere during the period of writing the blog.
I calculate that for half an hour writing the blog, with the ceiling fan is on, the emission will be 0.14 kg or 140 gram. that's more than what Honda Insight contribution of 101 gram per km. even Peugeot 308 is lesser at 123 gram per km.
I plead to all of us to save our world. reduce our carbon footprint. because no matter how much our money or how powerful we are, if it comes to the devastation of nature we are all commoner. I wrote that in my blog about the earth quake in Japan. help us to help us.
CARBON FOOTPRINT: 0.14 kg of greenhouse gas has been released to the atmosphere
