Last week I did a little research about the amount of CO2 I am going to keep out of the atmosphere by biking instead of driving. I was a little skeptical about my internet findings, but another source corroborated the numbers. Hopefully they're not just sharing mistakes! Since it's from the EPA, I am choosing to trust these numbers are correct.
So, this being my 3rd ride, I've avoided emitting 0.0226227 tons of CO2!
Plus BONUS POINTS! I went on a 2-mile lunch run for me & a coworker. Add .0007616 to the mix!
0.0233843 tons of CO2
also, umm obviously this post is still a draft but i am publish-happy!
