So by know you should know that Pop!Tech worked closely with Robert Freling and The Solar Electric Light Fund to offset twice the amount of carbon from that atmosphere based on the net carbon emission of all 500+ attendees at Pop!Tech.

At Pop!Tech, carbon emission was quantified in terms of cubic feet as visualized in this video with Andrew Zolli.

Emission is also commonly discussed in terms of weight, specifically in tons. Recently, Slate Explainer how 1 gallon of gasoline produces 19 pounds of carbon, especially if 1 gallon generally weighs about 6 pounds?

If you’re like me, you want to dissect a project like this to the molecular level until I understand every detail. This Explainer post was really helpful. You can also listen to it as an MP3.
