Each year, here in Calderdale, we release nearly eight tonnes of carbon-dioxide for every person in the district. For each of us, that's enough carbon-dioxide to create a layer of gas more than two metres thick across the whole of Calderdale - year after year.
So how do we produce so much carbon-dioxide? Surveys show us that here in Calderdale, around a third of it comes from the places we work, another third from travelling about, and the last third from our own homes.
Almost everything we do contributes to the carbon-dioxide total - from using hot water to driving to the supermarket; from using the TV and computer to taking a flight. Have a look at some typical climate-changing things in Zoheb Khalil's guide further down this page.
It's easy to think that the tiny part we play as individuals really has no effect. But when you add it up - together, we're producing around 1.5m tonnes of carbon-dioxide every year here in Calderdale (and that figure doesn't include the international air flights people take, or the carbon-dioxide produced in making the goods we import from other countries).
What does that look like? Well, if we filled the space inside Calderdale's best known building, the Piece Hall, with all our carbon-dioxide, it would take 11,000 Piece Halls to hold it all. That's a tower stretching 85 miles (135km) into the sky.
If we all play a part - however small - we can do something about climate change. Here's how.
