Just bought two pairs of jeans from a charity shop, my smugness at my lack of carbon footprint will allow me to buy a more powerfull ICE car when I replace it. All good stuff.
I am also looking at a garden workshop build, considering a sedum roof. One company I am looking at claims that my 24m2 roof will sequester 120Kg of CO2 per year. Now this does sound a little too good to be true. Is my roof going to weigh an extra 1200Kg after 10 years? Is it going to get thicker and thicker indefinitely like a peat bog. Anyway I don't need to worry about that, they said it, so it is true. Guilt free foreign holidays for me.
I drink Brewdog beer as it is carbon negative (actually because their AF beer is not too bad) so that it is fine for my wife to drink nice imported wines.
I drive an old Nissan Leaf so it is fine to also have a supercharged V8 petrol for when I want it.
I use lots of recycled timber in my woodwork and crafting so it is fine to have loads of tools in the garage.
I try to kill at least one American every 5 years to offset my environmental impact so I can live Guilt free.
At least one of those statements is incorrect
I never considered killing Americans, I think I'll buy some Smith & Wesson shares and they can do it themselves.
Fair point Robola - killing by proxy. Same concept as the beer carbon offset I guess and less messy than previous attempts should imagine
I hope that's not what the bandsaw was bought for. You need to freeze them first for best results.
WCA, have you factored in use of high powered electromagnetic medical equipment in your carbon footprint? You must have had more x-rays than most people on the planet.
U.S. healthcare is responsible for 9.8% of America’s greenhouse gas emissions and radiology departments are “likely” a major contributor to energy consumption, imaging providers wrote in JACR.
One New Zealand leg of lamb and you're in the red for 6 months.
There used to be a brilliant (WWF I think) parody site - where you could buy a share in a nunnery. Because the nuns were celibate, they had interviews with couples who enjoyed guilt-free cheating and wild rampant sex with the neighbours - because they could just donate more to the nunnery...
