The CO2 Cube was developed by Alfio Bonanno and Christophe Cornubert and represents the amount of [carbon dioxide](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbongauge) an average person in a developed country emits each month. For those of you who did not know, like me, that number would be a staggering metric ton.

It will be on display at the Saint Jorgen Lake, in front of the Copenhagen Planetarium, and will also feature a multimedia screen for broadcasting all types of environmental information. Check out more on the CO2 Cube bewlow.
