Video time

There are two excellent videos for you to watch and reflect on.

In 2010 New York City added 54 million metric tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere (75% from buildings, the bulk of the rest from transport) but that number means little to most people because few of us have a sense of scale for atmospheric pollution.

Carbon Visuals, supported by the Environmental Defense Fund, created a film that makes those emissions feel more real – the total emissions and the rate of emission. Designed to engage the ‘person on the street’, this version is exploratory and still work in progress.

See the video here.

There is a second video which sends a powerful message and which also uses New York City to provide some important comparisons.  This video is available here.
