Obviously I'm one of the culprits who are leaving a much heavvvvier imprint on Earth than I thought I am. God needs to recreate 3.3 Earths to cater to people like me. Anyway, that aside, what I think is most interesting is the fact that the portal provides a clear understanding of which part of our lifestyle that contributes most to global warming (understanding that different individuals will have a different lifestyle anyway) so that we can tackle it separately, one SECTION at a time. The best part is, it provides opportunity for us to explore other scenarios - if I did this or if I didn't do this - and see how it changes our impact on nature. One SECTION at a time. Pretty cool.

What is your carbon footprint?
Very interesting site. It calculates the carbon footprint you're leaving on this planet based on your current lifestyle. Unfortunately, it's only catered to Australians and Americans (sigh) but hopefully, one day they will expand to other continents. Anyway, it was a good exercise for me though. Other than some questions related to living in Australia, the others were pretty generic and can be answered (truthfully) regardless of whichever part of the world you're living in. Here's my result:

100 ways to save the environment.
I'm not sure if every one of them in the list is applicable, but at least we know there's effort being done. Someone compiling little things we can do to try to live more ethically. I wonder if there's something similar done in this country, or as a matter of fact, in this region? Since we as Asians, live drastically different lifestyles and it seems like we've got more wet waste than our Western counterparts. Wouldn't it be great to have a place for people to meet and share ideas and at the same time, receive credible and trustworthy information to live a better quality life?

Real time simulation of CO2 emission.
Quite fascinating, although it's just a simulation. I think the amount of deaths and births are really exaggeration. Does it make me wanna do something? Hmm, I don't know. But it does make the culprit of heavy emissions surface. Is it fair for requesting developing countries to control development just because they are 'late developers'? Hmm.
