This table is extracted from an article by George Barnwell about how much carbon dioxide you're dumping into the atmosphere, the main component of greenhouse gases. And that's from electrical appliances alone. Read his short article here. Note that 1 pound is equivalent to 0.453kg.
If you're interested in the bigger picture, try out BP's Carbon Footprint Calculator and see for yourself what your carbon footprint is.
Mine is 6 tonnes a year, lower than the Singapore average of 8.38. Woohoo!
And if you're wondering what a tonne of CO2 is like, read this, also from the BP site.
Aren't numbers painful :)
