WattzOn? A social network around the notion of energy use and conservation.

WattzOn? A social network around the notion of energy use and conservation.

A new, free digital application that allows us to understand our real energy footprint. Because solving climate and energy challenges requires everyone's help.

Carbon footprint, climate change problems, ecological disaster, we're all aware of this, but what do you do when it comes to such questions as: "how do I fit in? what is my role in this?"
These guys have set up a wiki methodology for assembling a complex dataset, then translated into a web tool, a rich online audit http://www.WattzOn.com. It helps users understand their personal impact on the environment and how they rate compared to others WattzOn users, as well as global averages.
We know one of the biggest causes of ecological damages is flying, but then of course everything else we do, from driving, powering a home, eating, shopping, working and even one’s share of the energy necessary to make our society function. How much power do we use in our lives?
Curiosity: the top 4 countries in the world, Usa, Usrr, China and Germany have put more than half of the carbon dioxide ever put into the athmosphere since the industrial revolution.
