According to the EPA's eGRID emissions reporting spreadsheet,  In 2005 Arkansas had a state nameplate capacity of  14,609.1 MW    generated   47,794,506,560kWh  Of those kWh,   3,103,217,700 kWh  were from hydropower which is emission free.   The Oil, Coal, biomass, and to a lesser extent natural gas power plants   had a combined output of:

This means,  our contribution to global climate change is highly determined by our energy usage(eating habits, consumption patterns, and gardening practices are other factors) and we can reduce our carbon footprint while we are saving money on energy efficiency and renewable energy at the following rate.

 

With the average electricity user in Arkansas using around 1.2MWh monthly(1 MWh = 1,000 kWh)  I know we can probably find you ways to save around 5,000 lbs of CO2 from being emitted(2.5MWh) annually for little or no costs and save the money that would have been spent on electricity for enjoyable persuits.     To start,  click here for a checklist which you can do yourself and has good links for references on some of the items.    I will be updating so come back frequently for more resources.  Or if you have an energy efficiency question or to schedule an energy audit     call 479-616-8077  .
