How much Carbon-Di-Oxide does your internet browsing create

Here's a cool 2 minute video from the Australian Broadcasting corpoaration



How Green Is Your Internet? from Patrick Clair on Vimeo.

The stats:
Every second of internet puts 0.2gms of CO2 into the atmosphere.
That's 12 gms per minute
Thats 720 gms per hour
Thats 8.6 Kgs over 12 hours that most folks like me spend online.

Youtube users get through 2 billion videos at a conservative average of 10 secs per video for a total of 4000 Tonnes of CO2 per day.
Thats 1.4 million Tonnes of CO2 pe year.

Facebook and Apple use coal fired electricity. That makes them the dirtiest consumers
Yahoo and Google use the cleanest energy sources and Google has invested heavily in developing Wind, Solar and Kite power!

Enjoy the video.
