Casually Explained: The Carbon Scale

Once you flash the Gates crime family on the screen, nothing you say afterwards has any credibility

Don’t plants like co2

Wait, that was an actual sponsor?

the plastic bag VS cotton also assumes u gonna use the plastic bag only once… I've used one bag that's getting abit tattered already like 4 times, maybe more…

It would be interesting to see the scale adjusted for CO2 costs of recycling&disposal. For example, paper or metals can be quite efficiently recycled, but a huge portion of plastics is just burned.

Ouch, unfortunate sponsorships can be rough in hundsight! 😂

It's sad that 5 years later, not only is crime now legal, the EPA is gutted and everyone is encouraged to just do whatever they want as long as it makes somebody some money.

Let’s talk about emissions from bill and Melinda’s private jets?

What creates more CO2 on the individual level, is having children

I work in data centre design. Our streaming and AI is very thirsty

Most carbon emissions come from companies and rich individuals that live extravagantly and push endless consumption. The top 100 companies in the world are responsible for 70% of carbon emissions since 1988. The top 1% of the world emits as mich as the poorest 50%. We as individuals can reduce our carbon footprint, but it will not make a dent if we cannot reduce how much shit we consume in the US. And rich people also need to reduce their footprint, but i haven’t seen very many do that. I’ll be using paper straws every day, but as long as fossil fuel subsidies continue and corporations make products that die every two years, i’m not really sure I can do much!

Beef burger – 2.5kg to 3kg of CO2
Plant based burger – 0.2kg to 0.7kg of CO2

One glass (200ml) of Cow's milk – 0.6kg to 0.8kg of CO2
One glass (200ml) of Oat milk – 0.18 of CO2

The average day of an average meat eater – 10.2kg of CO2
The average day of an average a plant based eater (vegan) – 2.45kg of CO2

It's a shame he didn't mention, that the biggest thing you can do to decrease your carbon footprint is to reduce your consumption of animal products.

Paper straws are coated with PFAS chemicals. So those forever chemicals who's upper safety limit is measured in parts per trillion.
