Randall D. Knight β A Macroscopic Description of Matter: Problem 47
On average, each person in the industrialized world is responsible for the emission of 10,000 kg of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) every year. This includes $CO_2$ that you generate directly, by burning fossil fuels to operate your car or your furnace, as well as $CO_2$ generated on your behalf by electric generating stations and manufacturing plants. $CO_2$ is a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. If you were to store your yearly $CO_2$ emissions in a cube at STP, how long would each edge of the cube be?
