    Waste:
    "Typical" annual CO2 emissions were estimated based on a household of two people, per capita waste generation of 4.44 lbs/day,
    a 25 percent recycling rate, no source reduction, and the national average mix of recyclables at http://epa.gov/climatechange/wycd/waste/index.html

    Air Travel:
    Air travel definitions and factors are from the GHG Protocol Mobile Combustion Tool. The emissions factors for short and long haul flights are originally from UK DEFRA.
    Long and short flights can be estimated using the GHG Protocol Initiative online tools at http://www.ghgprotocol.org
