Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

I am doing an experiment on the effect of different lifestyles on carbon footprint. How do you convert gallons water usage into pounds of C02 produced? Also, how do you convert natural gas use into CO2 produced? Finally, I would like to know what the effect of everyone on the planet reducing their carbon footprint by 50% on global warming.

Hi,

Take a loook at them and post another request if they don”t answer your questions.
