Is it a ton of CO2 because thats it's carbon foot print for the night ?

Thats awesome way to convey the message.

Volume calculation of one ton CO2

One ton = 1000kg

One cubic meter = 1000liters

One mole CO2 = 44.0g (CO2 = 12.0g + 32.0g = 44.0g)

One ton contains 22730 moles of CO2 (1,000,000g / 44.0g/mole)

One mole is 24.47L (Boyle's law at 25°C and 1 atmosphere pressure)

Volume of one ton CO2 = 22730moles × 24.47L/mole = 556200L = 556.2m³

One ton of CO2 occupies 556.2m³ of volume ~ A cube of side 8.22 m

I'm so proud to have been able to play even a small part in this project. I have high hopes for the outcomes of the climate talks.

Wow. ... than just literally gave me tons of guilt. :-( I try to offset all of my co2 but i think i miss a few tons each year :-(
