	2:50	Cutting Carbon: Society’s Options	Societies make decisions that can reduce carbon output. Energy efficiency and conservation, alternative energy, and carbon capture and storage can make a difference.
	2:34	Cutting Carbon: What Can I Do?	Practical tips to cut energy use, reduce your household carbon footprint, and save money, too!
	05:58	Drilling a Well	The animated short describes the process for drilling wells to obtain oil or natural gas. This is very similar to the process that would be used to drill wells for CO2 injection and CO2 monitoring.
	01:21	Ducks Unlimited and Terrestrial Carbon Credits	The Ducks Unlimited programs for carbon dioxide management are discussed.
	01:29	Emission Offsets and Carbon Credits	A brief explanation of carbon credits and the process behind them is presented.
	01:58	Emission Trading	The process of emissions trading and its usefulness to the global economy is described.
	2:34	Energy and Carbon: The Big Picture	In the modern world, energy use and carbon footprint go hand in hand with quality of life. How can we maintain our quality of life, help other countries improve theirs, and keep carbon emissions under control?
	01:11	Energy, CO2 and Our Carbon Footprint	What is carbon dioxide? What is a carbon footprint?
	3:37	Family Transportation and Carbon Footprint	Compare the use and carbon footprints of transportation fuels for households in three economies: postindustrial, rapidly emerging, and developing.
	01:45	Forest Fire Control and CO2 Management	Methods of fire control in the forest around Redding, California, create terrestrial sequestration opportunities.
	02:50	Geologic CO2 Sequestration	How does geologic CO2 sequestration work?
	06:30	Horizontal Drilling and Hydraulic Fracturing	This animated primer shows how hydraulic fracturing combined with horizontal drilling can get the oil or natural gas out of rocks like shale (with low permeability). When oil or natural gas is trapped in rocks like shale, oil producers use a technique called hydraulic fracturing (or fracking) to create cracks in the rock layer that oil or natural gas can move through.

	08:18	Introduction to Well Logs for Oil Production or CO2 Storage	This animated primer describes the purpose, process, and interpretation of well logging data. How do we know about the layers of rock in a drill hole? Which ones contain water or oil? Which ones are good for CO2 sequestration? One way is to use a probe to “log” drill holes. As the probe moves up from the bottom to the top of a drill hole, it records different types of information on the rocks.
