The average person emits 20.4 metric tons of Co2 per year. According to Carbonfootrpint.com I produce 100.4 metric tons. I refuse to believe this, my results have to be fraud. My brilliant theory is that Carbonfootprint is boosting the results to persuade people into trying to be greener. This is wrong, isn’t it?
On one hand people shouldn’t be intentionally deceived no matter the cause. But if it could potentially make a huge impact in protecting our deteriorating ecosystem is it so bad? The question of my results has left me in a jam. Was I even dooped or am I just being too suspicious? Even if my hypothesis has a hint of truth to it, how would I go about proving it.? I must have missed the Algebra 1 lesson when we learned how to calculate our emissions because I have no idea.
Unfortunately, no matter what the real answer is it will have little effect on how much Co2 I produce. Going green is expensive and as a freshman college student on my own budget after food, gas, and all the fresh threads I can cop, there just isn’t enough of the extra cash flow needed. So, I am truly sorry mother Earth but for the time being I will have to be the Co2 producing monster that I am.
Great blog. I love the title and how you kind of deny your footprint. Its show how surprised you were. You going against what you discovered is a different approach to this blog, more argumentative then actually realizing your footprint is a problem.
