Interesting to see how CRAG members stack up to the Australian average for CO2 emissions. We ranged from 2.6 tons to 14.5 tons, largely depending on how far people had flown in the year - amazing what a difference a long-haul flight can make! (and watch this space for ideas for carbon-friendly holidays).
According to the University of Sydney's Centre for Integrated Sustainability Analysis, the average Australian is responsible for 2.4 tons of CO2-e from car travel, 3.3 tons from home energy use and 0.75 tons from air travel, for a toal of 6.45 tons of CO2-e.
[CO2-e stands for CO2 equivalent, which is the combined global warming effect of CO2 and the other greenhouse gases (methane, for example).]
