1.18 A gallon (3.8 liters) of gasoline that weighs 6.3 pounds (2.85 kg) can produce 20
pounds (9.1 kg) of carbon dioxide. Yes, 20 pounds (9.1 kg) of carbon dioxide!
Assume 100 million people with cars (with 20 miles/gallon (10.6 km/liters) gasoline
consumption rates) decide to walk 3 miles (4.8 km) a day (approximately an hour)
instead of driving their cars. What would be the reduction in pounds of carbon
dioxide released into the atmosphere on a yearly basis?
Solution
3 miles 365 days 1 gallon 20 pounds of CO2
100,000,000 people × × × ×
