The Biggest Carbon Loser
Three contestants. Two months. One planet. A lot of carbon.
KUOW’s Biggest Carbon Loser series aims to see how deeply three Seattle-area residents can cut their carbon footprints -- from travel, food, energy, and more -- while navigating their daily lives.
What will it take our contestants, and our region, to kick the carbon habit and help fend off climate catastrophe? Many may try, but only one will take the coveted title: The Biggest Carbon Loser.
