How Big Is Magazine’s Carbon Footprint?

“Each month’s issue of DISCOVER in this process, transportation included, releases the equivalent of 170 tons of CO2 , whereas recycled magazines—only a small portion of the total—produce about 6 tons. Beyond reducing greenhouse gases, recycling saves about 1,000 pounds of solid waste, some 10,000 gallons of water, and 17 million Btu of energy per ton of paper. Furthermore, two tons of trees per ton of paper remain standing due to recycling”1

How much CO2 is released in a Google search?

“Each google search lets out 7 gram of CO2. A kettle of boiling water required for a cup of tea leaves 15 gram. That means two google searches are equal to a cup of tea.” (via Alex Wissner Gross)1
