FOR EARTH DAY, SOCIAL EXPLORER LETS YOU MAP CARBON EMISSIONS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY
Want to find out how much your community and neighborhood are contributing to Global Warming? Social Explorer can show you! Our new 2002 Carbon Dioxide Emissions Map which uses The Vulcan Project data shows you how much carbon dioxide was being emitted into the atmosphere in 2002 for each 10 KM meter grid in the United States. Observe where emissions are high and where they are low. You can then zoom down to whatever area you want. Type your address into the FIND tool, and see how much emission is near your home or place of work.
Now that the EPA agrees that such rising levels of greenhouse gases "are the unambiguous result of human emissions, and are very likely the cause of the observed increase in average temperatures and other climatic changes," you should know how much or little your community is contributing.
Since Social Explorer is the easiest to use demography research tool, you can compare carbon emission to the demographic characteristics of census tracts and communities with high or low emissions. Are there more emissions in wealthy or poor census tracts? In those with high proportions of minorities or immigrants? With our new carbon map along with the demographic maps, it is possible to find out.
