Bicycle-List of CO2

I just read National Geographic and it comes with this list of Co2 source in our own house.
The list tells us pounds of Co2 emitted per item each year in the United States:

1.    Washer                : 153
2.    Electric Dryer       : 1,521
3.    Hair Dryer            : 57
4.    Television             : 548
5.    Stereo                  : 167
6.    Desktop PC         : 321
7.    Microwave           : 179
8.    Dishwasher           : 599
9.    Refrigerator          : 1,191
10.    Central AC        : 4,067
11.    Toaster              : 53
12.    Gas Furnace      : 6,967
13.    One Car            : 11,903
14.    Ceiling Fan        : 115
15.    Shaver               : 1
16.    Cordless Phone  : 36
17.    Oil Furnace        : 14,380
18.    VCR                 : 64
19.    Cable Box         : 182
20.    Electric Range    : 628

Also from that great Magazine, beside our bicycle to meet The greener lifestyle commitment, the Author suggests us to reduce in those above personal Co2 emissions to keep the world from reaching critical tipping point, such as the melting of the ice sheets in Greenland or Antarctica by at least 80%.

Lets work!!
