Web 2.0 vs Global Warming

Wednesday February 27, 2008

Can Web 2.0 save us from the wrath of Al Gore? Canadians certainly hope so. Toronto has teamed up with Zerofootprint.net, a Canadian not-for-profit, to create a Toronto-specific social network for climate change.

Using the online calculators provided, you can input information such as how much you drive per year, what type of eater you are, and how much money you spend on heating and electricity, and find out how big of a CO2 footprint you leave each year and how you compare to the average Canadian.

Want to get involved but not Canadian? Take Part might be the social network for you. It actively encourages users to take part in social concerns like the fight against global warming.
