Each year, here in Calderdale, we release nearly eight tonnes of carbon-dioxide for every person in the district. For each of us, that's enough carbon-dioxide to create a layer of gas two metres thick across the whole of Calderdale.
So how do we produce so much carbon-dioxide? Around a third of it comes from the places we work, another third from travelling about, and the last third from our own homes.
Almost everything we do contributes to the carbon-dioxide total - from using hot water to driving to the supermarket; from using the TV and computer to taking a flight.
It's easy to think that the tiny part we play as individuals really has no effect. But when you add it up - together, we're making so much carbon-dioxide every year, it would take ??? Piece Halls to hold it all. And that figure's rising!
