Did you ever wonder what reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 1 million metric tons means in everyday terms? The greenhouse gas (GHG) equivalencies calculator can help you understand just that, translating abstract measurements and emissions data into concrete terms, such as the annual emissions from cars or households. There are three options for entering reduction data into this calculator: You can specify an energy amount using the controls appearing in the first tab You can specify an amount of a particular greenhouse gas using the controls appearing in the second tab You can specify a quantity of greenhouse generating items using the controls appearing in the third tab
