Here’s a map put together by scientists at Purdue University’s Vulcan Project of 2002 CO2 emissions per capita [click on the map for a high-res version]. So…is anyone surprised that Texas is the reddest state? I thought not. Interestingly, here is a map of CO2 concentration with out accounting for population density, which looks pretty much identical to a population map.  It also looks to be almost inversely proportional to the population map, which presents fairly good evidence that dense urban living is the most carbon efficient way to go.

geo-engineering

sulfateinjections.jpg

Sulphate injections are one of several “geo-engineering” solutions to climate change being discussed by scientists[...]But one potential drawback is that sulphates provide a surface on which chlorine gases in polar clouds can become activated, causing chemical reactions that lead to the destruction of ozone molecules. Yeah, this sounds like a great idea… [BBC News]

Project Earth Day

Today in NYC is the 2nd annual Project Earth Day, an eco-minded spin-off of Project Runway. I found out about Project Earth Day via Inhabitat, who I can always count on to satisfy me when I need an eco-fashion fix. In fact, Inhabitat’s very own Jill Fehrenbacher will be a judge for the Student Fashion Competition. Here’s a look at a few of my favorite designers from the event’s site:

Building A Straw Bale House: The Journey Begins

strawbalehouseview.jpg

It is official: my dad started his journey from NC to NM this morning to begin construction on the straw bale house. He set off for the 3-4 day drive in our ancient-if-not-so-fuel-efficient ’92 Volvo 240 full of belongings and our two dogs. My poor mom is going to be lonely for the next few months (though she will probably miss the dogs the most…). So be on the lookout for updates on the construction progress over the next few weeks and months. And check the straw bale archive to learn about his designs and software.
