When carbon dioxide emissions are released into the atmosphere, they trap heat from the sun and contribute to global warming. Working towards environmentally-friendly information technology (IT) reduces energy use and CO2 emissions. Check out the following chart to see the different amounts of CO2 emissions from fossil-fuels contributed per capita in countries throughout the world.
