Visualizing carbon dioxide emissions

A campaign called 'You have the power. Save Energy' is encouraging Australians to save energy at home to cut greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the impact of climate change.  Each balloon in the commercial represents 50 grams of greenhouse gas.

Take 30 seconds and view the commercial by clicking the Black Balloon Image:

The average American home produces around 20 tons of greenhouse gas emissions each year....or nearly 500,000 balloons!

Through saving energy, we can save money, as well as help protect our environment from the impacts of climate change.  For further information about how you can save greenhouse gas, energy and money visit http://www.energysavers.gov/
