Carbon Dioxide Toaster

I just grabbed this CO2 Toaster Widget from CO2now.org It shows what carbon dioxide levels are right now on our planet, as well as what the CO2 has been and what it should be for our planet to be healthy.

This toaster serves to remind me that everything that my husband and I do to save energy in our home renovations means that our utility company does not have to dip into “dirty” sources of energy (coal, oil) that make global warming worsen.

Beyond our green renovations, the CO2 Toaster reminds me and my family that with every light switch left on, we are making a direct contribution to greenhouse gases.

Widgets are awesome – a portable way to spread one’s hyperlinked brand and message across various platforms (blogs, Facebook pages, etc.). I am working on creating an EcoRenovate widget with live-streaming updates on our green renovation project.
