Anyway, I think she is saying that emission of 2000 pounds (or 2200 pounds if it's a metric ton) of CO2 today would be reduced by 446 kilograms (about 200 pounds less CO2).
Better rethink that one...446 kilos is almost 1000 lbs.
Once again, forgot my sarc tag...
“of CO2 today would be reduced by 446 kilograms (about 200 pounds less CO2)”
My calculation has 446 Kg at more like 983 pounds
446 kilograms is 983 pounds or 1/2 ton.
(about 200 pounds less CO2).
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
a kilogram is 2.2 lbs
so 446 kilograms would be , ahhhhmmmm ..... 981 lbs?
of course the journalist may have botched up elsewhere in this article.
