In order to add more perspective, this is also equivalent to:

  • The CO2 emissions from the energy use that 2,704 homes for one year
  • Greenhouse gas emissions avoided by recycling 10,864 tons of waste instead of sending it to the landfill
  • The annual greenhouse gas emissions from 6,144 passenger vehicles
  • The carbon sequestered annually by 6,648 acres of pine or fir forests
