This whole personal carbon footprint business you’re having guilt trips over was propaganda from oil companies.
While you’re feeling guilty the mining industry in Australia is burning 1.3 billion litres of diesel a year. The US military is burning over 15.8 billion litres of fuel a year.
Unless you’re ultra wealthy and flying a private jet everywhere you are having absolutely zero impact and only the oil company lobbyists want you to believe otherwise.
Yes and no. My family’s personal carbon footprint is negligible. And it’s less than average because we reduce it intentionally. Let’s say for example that we reduce our footprint by 40% (I don’t know what the number is, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it were around this). Big deal - 40% of an average family’s greenhouse emissions is still 40% of bugger-all.
But now imagine three million families doing this. 40% of three million average families suddenly is a significant number.
