The name comes from the scientific projection that in 2100 the earth’s temperature will rise by 3 degrees Celsius which will cause huge environmental issues that will affect society.

3Degrees is a great site to visit and educate yourself on the impacts of pollution and ways in which you can reduce your negative contribution. You can visit all of the different educational section of the site to learn more and you can use the carbon calculators to give a donation which will support the clean air projects. The homepage features three different carbon calculators: the green gift, personal footprint, and the express. All three calculators are similar they take into consideration the three major contributions to energy use: home electricity, car travel, and air travel. For each of the three sections there are four options ranging from least use to most. For example for home electricity section has the options: apartment, small home, medium home, and large home. When you click on the option that reflects your life style the cost is added to the calculator. Once you have gone through the three options you have a total cost which you can donate to 3Degrees. 3Degrees is a great idea and it gives users an idea of how much we waste and the effects of our actions.
