Carbon Emissions Map for Los Angeles

It's hard to reduce carbon dioxide emissions when you're not sure where they're coming from. This new map from The Hestia Project shows the exact source of carbon dioxide emissions throughout Southern California. Freeways are the most obvious feature, which are clearly present in the ribbons of red that criss-cross the region. The density of the westside and hollywood area is also clearly delineated on the map.

The "Carbon Emissions by Sectors" key is hard to read and major regional polluters, like the Port complex in Long Beach, do not appear on the map as clearly as they routinely do in statistical calculations about regional pollution.
