All the teams listed below are part of the Cool Capital Challenge. The lbs. of CO2 shown next to each team is the number of pounds savings by each member of that team added together. The teams with the highest total are at the top.
Another way to rank each team is by the average percentage of CO2 savings by each member. Even teams with fewer members can rank high when looking at the standings this way.
