EPA Green House Gas Emissions - Visualization Submission

EPA Facility Level GHG Emissions  (<---Link)

The link above displays a graphic from the Environmental Protection Agency that provides information about facilities in the United Sates that produce green house gases on a large scale. I had to use this graphic to gather information for a paper in my Environmental Writing class, and I found this interactive useful to be both easy to use and very reliable. The best part about this graphic is that it provides the user with many different customizable options to filter both information and viewing formats in the most useful way. You are able to view facilities by facility type, state, county, GHG emission levels, and several other options. The graphic also provides the option to view the information in the form of a map, list, trend-line graph, pie chart, or bar chart. With all of these different options, the user can easily navigate the graphic and extrapolate whatever information they need in the viewing form that is most valuable. This makes it an excellent resource for those who require information about green house gas emissions.
