30332 ABSTRACT The average American citizen consumes energy over the course of a year which contributes to mankind’s total carbon emissions. Given current studies on the effects of Global Warming and carbon emissions‚ it is beneficial to analyze ways to reduce energy usage‚ and thus carbon emissions. The experimenters are assumed to be average American citizens aged 18 – 25 in terms of yearly carbon emissions. Their yearly energy usage was approximated‚ and local power plant emission data
