CO2 is a greenhouse gas that accumulates in the Earth's atmosphere, trapping heat from the sun and keeping the planet warm. CO2 comes, in part, from the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and gasoline, to generate electricity for use in our homes and to power our cars. The amount of CO2 in our atmosphere has increased over the past century, and the majority of scientists questioned in a recent international study agree that global temperatures have risen dramatically compared with levels from the 1800s, with human activity being a significant contributing factor. According to the International Energy Agency, a warmer Earth may lead to changes in rainfall patterns, a rise in sea level, and a wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans. A good way to visualize CO2 is to imagine that 1 pound of CO2 would fill up 710 soda cans (12oz), or a box 2-feet high, 2-feet wide, and 2-feet deep. Belkin Conserve products can help you do your part to use energy wisely. Use Less, Save More, Feel Good. Facts gathered from a study conducted by the University of Illinois, the International Energy Agency, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
