Fun from the resources page of AboutCambria: various sites where you can calculate the effect your choices make on the world we live in. We can make a difference. How? As you measure the impacts of your water use, meal choices, changing your bulbs to CFLs, your paper choice, and the emissions of your transportation choices you’ll discover how a little goes a long way.
