Did you know that a diamond necklace has the equivalent carbon footprint of drinking 1,333 pints of beer? Did you also know that a mile by a subway train has the same carbon footprint of 3 teapots boiled by gas energy? These fun snippets of information can be discovered on Carbonize, a new web app developed by eCO2 Greetings that lets you compare the carbon footprints of over one hundred popular items. In addition to helping people see the effects of their actions on the planet, eCO2 Greetings also promises that they will plant one tree with American Forests’ Global Re-leaf Campaign for every 100 social shares of a #CarbonizeFACT.
