Using the most recent state-level carbon dioxide data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration and large-facility greenhouse gas emission data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, MyLife.com<http://www.mylife.com/blog/us-greenhouse-gas-emissions-by-state/>has compiled a ranking of the greenhouse gas output of each state. “Climate change is an ever-growing concern for our planet,” Christian Neeser writes. “It is not a problem that is easily quantifiable or solvable, but we can start with awareness.” [image: []] Despite its strong reputation<http://ecowatch.com/2014/03/02/texas-wind-energys-king/>for clean, wind energy, Texas was the highest-emitting state, by far, nearly doubling second-place California. Vermont was the lowest greenhouse emitter. MyLife also considered the state Census population estimates to figure out the emissions-per-capita ranking. New York<http://ecowatch.com/2014/03/06/new-york-solar-energy-projects/>had the lowest emissions per capita, while Wyoming had the highest.
