Napa County’s Carbon Footprint● The average amount of electricity

used in Napa County as reported by Community Pulse was 701.20 kWh per year per PERSON.

● The average amount of gallons of water person used per DAY in major cities totaled out to 272 gallons. Totaling 99,280 gallons of water per year per person.

● The average CO2 emissions per capita is 9.48 metric tons annually, or 1,343,003 metric tons for Napa’s population of 141,667 people

California Carbon Emissions ● CO2 is the primary greenhouse gas emitted

in California, accounting for 84% of total GHG emissions

● California ranks as #2 in usage in the United States using 364,000,000 metric tons of CO2 annually, a total of 6.42%○ 12.82 metric tons of CO2 per capita

● Transportation is the largest source of CO2 in California, primarily comprised of on-road travel. ○ Electricity production, industrial and

residential sources also make important contributions to CO2 emissions in California.

CO2 In The United States of America● In 2014 37% of CO2 emissions in the U.S. were due to

electrical usage● Transportation accounted for 31% of total CO2

emissions in the U.S.● 17.62 metrics tons of CO2 emissions per capita annually

● Changes in CO2 emissions are influenced by many long-term and short-term factors such as:○ population growth, new

technology, changes in energy pricing, economic growth, changing behaviors, and seasonal temperatures.

Change Your Lightbulbs

Unplug your Gadgets

Filter Your Own Water

Plant A TreeRecycle

Environmentally Friendly Home

Proposal For Change

Replace them with fluorescent light bulbs. One bulb can reduce up to 1,300 pounds of carbon dioxide pollution during it’s lifetime.

Powering of devices can save you $100 each year on your energy bill

Trees provide shade and oxygen while consuming carbon dioxide

Switch to filtered water to save the planet from the environmental toll plastic has on it

Transform your house into an eco-home which lowers your energy bills and reduces your carbon footprint

Recycling decreases pollution, landfills, and reduces energy consumption

Big Picture Changes ● Change How We Eat: we have to reduce the intake

of meat worldwide in order to reduce the destruction of forests that need to be cleared to make room for grain that feeds the livestock.

● Do What You Uniquely Can Do: Lead by example, it all starts with you. Address your bad habits, and make little changes in your habits to better the planet in your own way

● Take Action in Your Communities: Get active! encourage companies and state and local governments to switch to renewable energy, demand leadership from our elected officials.

Conclusions and Summary ● YOUR Carbon dioxide emissions are the main pollutant

contributing to global warming

● Carbon dioxide is widely considered to be a pollutant in association with cars, planes, power plants, and other human activities that involve the burning of fossil fuels such as gasoline and natural gas

● Taking simple steps such as changing light bulbs, recycling materials, riding our bikes, and turning off the lights when not in use can greatly reduce the impact CO2 emissions have on our planet!
