Your Emissions Results: What They Mean
Your emission results are given in pounds of carbon dioxide, and are broken down into three general categories of transportation. What do these figures mean, and how do they relate to climate change?

This will be the equivalent volume of carbon that your travel activity introduces into the atmosphere every month.
