  • CO2 Updates for Canadian Weekly Newspapers

    Dear newspaper publishers and managers,

    We are a small team of volunteer, climate-concerned Canadians affiliated with the CO2.earth website.  And we have an offer and a request for you to consider. 

    First, here's the offer.

    For free, we want to give you the best graphics, information and assistance available for printing CO2 updates.  Why?  We want to make it easy for you to keep your subscribers and other readers up to date on the world’s leading indicator of local and global environmental health.  

    Every Sunday or Monday, we publish a visual graphic with the latest CO2 levels, a graphic like this:

    Atmospheric CO2 (weekly)

    This graphic is an auto-updated web widget you can add to your website.
    Click here for code and simple instructions to add it.

    This graphic is an RGB thumbnail which we update every week.  Also, we have a larger, CMYK file linked at the bottom of this page which is now ready and continually updated for weekly publication in newspapers and other print media. Plus, we have larger RGB version available for digital publication online.  The CO2 graphic files linked below are large so they can be scaled down to the size and quality which works for your publication. 

    We are sharing the modest selection of resources we have produced so far with English-speaking papers in Canada before we actively reach out to papers in other languages and countries. In the background, we are working to add more CO2 size and design options, resources and supports that are of actual use to newspapers, firstly here in Canada

    Second: Our request.

    We want to learn what kinds of content, information and support would make it easy for your paper to publish CO2 updates that existing and new readers will come to expect.  To find out, we created this 5 minute survey which we hope you and other weekly paper publishers will fill out.
