I love it when someone visualizes data in a new way, and if it’s IRL (in real life) rather than on the computer screen, all the better.

That’s the volume of one metric ton of carbon dioxide.  27 feet x 27 feet x 27 feet.

Now, I just have to figure out a way to stack up 570,000 of these bad boys to demonstrate the carbon footprint of my own campus…

“Could somebody hand me that crane?”
