Your Carbon Contribution ("Black Balloons")

You produce greenhouse gases each time you use energy in your home. This video aims to help us concretely visualize each of our contributions to climate change.

This public service announcement was created by the Alliance for Climate protection prior to the launch of it's campaign, We Can Solve It. You may recognize the voice as that of the actor Tommy Lee Jones.

Great imagery! It's so easy to not understand how much greenhouse gas we are constantly adding to the atmosphere, but now I'll be mentally seeing these black balloons everywhere.

What kind of footprint was just laid there?? Look at all those balloons?

Hypemuch, the average number of balloons produced after taco bell is 12.

If anyone actually believes that carbon dioxide is a pollutant, they should be shot. There are actually serious pollution problems we should be worrying about. Co2 cap and trade is just Al Gores ideal to get rich by selling a bunch of worthless "carbon credits."

The footprint for those balloons was whatever CO2 was generated by the computer running the graphics package.

Releasing balloons into the environment is a nightmare.

IMO children and car dealers (who use helium balloons alot in Australia) should be introduced to colorful windmills.

THat's really good and informative with easy visuals that represent the exact meaning.

Shamamabear, as soon as Gore practices what he's preaching, I'll consider a similar move...

He's making money hand over fist about this stuff, and you really think he cares about "climate crisis". He flies in his personal jet, arrives in an entourage of SUV's, yeah he really cares...

Let's take Al Gore's challenge and "shoot for the moon" with 100% renewable energy!
