Mile by Mile, Pound by Pound

No person in the world can see or smell CObut as the world continues on with every day more and more CO2 is distributed unknowingly.
"Only what we are doing is throwing a pound of CO2- that's what goes int the atmosphere, on average, every mole. those bags of CO2 from our cars float up and stay in the atmosphere, along with the bags of CO2 from our power plants burning coal, oil, and gas, and bags of CO2 released from burning and clearing of forests, which release all of the carbon stored in trees, plants, and soil" (Pg. 34, Hot, Flat, and Crowded).
Everyday activities require CO2 in one way shape or form. unintentionally we will send it right up into the atmosphere, more times than others. Deforestation is 20% of the CO2 that is distributed, and that is one of the daily routines hat happens all over the world, and it is starting to become  huge problem. and with more and more people all over the world buying more cars, the rate of CO2 from that will skyrocket as well. if we don't cut back soon, the CO2 will destroy our ozone and will completely release smog all over our big cities.
