My name is Phillip. I'm a 27 year old account planner,or brand planner, or strategist or whatever you want to call it at an advertising agency called mcgarrybowen in New York. I've worked for retail giants, pro-sports teams, an energy company, and in consumer electronics. My job entails explaining social concepts and trying to generally be "up" on stuff like trends, people's habits, media, the kind of stuff that may interest my clients (especially when they have no idea how it would interest them). I really enjoy my job (probably what I'm least bad at) however I do have a secret desire to be a music critic for one of those really trendy and pretentious music websites (see: Pitchforkmedia or Cokemachineglow). I'd wear ill fitting pants and ironic t-shirts, drink pabst and hate any band that got remotely famous. But I digress.

This blog helps me focus on interesting stuff that I find by saving it all in one place.

Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator | Clean Energy | US EPA

Ever wonder what it really means when someone says 800,000 metric tons of carbon. Well this calculator can give you an idea. For example 800k tons of carbon is the equivalent of 146k cars on the road for a year. Like everything else big government agencies do it isn’t pretty but it is interesting…to me…I think.
