I calculated how much my carbon footprint would be using YouSustain’s Carbon Footprint Calculator.

How much is 18.10 tons of carbon? YouSustain website shows me the following:

Although my carbon footprint is lower than the country average, I still have a long way to go to reach the world’s target. Much of my carbon footprint comes from driving. I commute to work for five days a week, and I drive 22 miles one way, a total of 50 miles a day. Driving was the only option because I work at an area very far from the public transportation. Car insurance, gas price, and car payments take up a bulk of my paycheck as well. I sit in the traffic for about two hours of my life while pondering could this be different? Maybe I can apply to a job closer to where I live?
