    links and comments on carbon footprint models, calculators, etc. Note: to see the full address of a bookmark, click 'preview'. To see comments & highlights, click the yellow box with a # in it. You can add bookmarks, comments, etc if you bookmark their applet (diigolet, in Tools) or install the toolbar TAGS: tags must be either enclosed in quotes or must use _ instead of spaces. I've tagged to categorize by the name or source of calculators (e.g. EPA or Ecological Footprint) so far.

Transportation

Pounds of carbon dioxide equivalent are calculated based on EPA's estimate of the greenhouse gas emissions from a typical passenger vehicle in the United States. Estimates of the typical values for fuel economy and miles driven per week are from the same source.

Note that EPA's emissions estimates are lower than estimates obtained through fueleconomy.gov, because EPA's estimates are for tailpipe emissions only. The fueleconomy.gov site estimates emissions over the full fuel lifecycle (including extraction, processing, and transportation of fuel).
