You want to find pounds of CO2 / week = lb CO2 / week



1 lb CO2        2 gal gas        144 * 10^6 car          7day
------------- x  --------------- x    ------------------    x    ---------
1 gal gas              car                   day                    week



Check what happen with units

 lbCO2      gal      car      day
----------- x ------ x ------ x ------- = lb CO2 / week
   gal         car      day    week


So the result is 2 * 144 * 10^6 * 7 lb CO2  / week = 2,016 - 10^6 lb CO2 / week


Answer: 2,016 millions of pounds of CO2 per week.

More than 150 years ago, inventors began working on a bright idea that would have a dramatic impact on how we use energy in our homes and offices. This invention changed the way we design buildings, increased the length of the average workday and jumpstarted new businesses. It also led to new energy breakthroughs -- from power plants and electric transmission lines to home appliances and electric motors.

Like all great inventions, the light bulb can’t be credited to one inventor. It was a series of small improvements on the ideas of previous inventors that have led to the light bulbs we use in our homes today.
