This approach is creative, parallels Greg Thomas' approach of using trees  
saved or trees planted as a measure of energy saving, and will likely capture  
the imaginations of a certain segment of the population in the US. Might be  
interesting to try this with school kids as well, maybe as a set of math  
exercises?  If anyone is interested in working out these types of  calculations to 
create a list of energy savings and pounds of CO2 saved for  each one could you 
please contact me? Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County  might be able to 
compile such a list, and print them up in bulk for groups to  use if there 
was interest. Thanks.  ken
