I did this a while ago and I thought everyone should do this and realize how much carbon they’ve contributed to the universe.. mine’s 6.623 tonnes per year, and most of them is because of the transportation. I come from the other side of the world and I know I’m going back home at least once a year… and this is my first year here, and I’m still going back home on December. I’m a flexitarian, so I don’t eat that much meat, thus reducing the carbon production. I live in dorm so I wasted almost no space at all for that.
One thing that crossed my mind after doing this, however, is what impacts can we do if we reduce our carbon production? Let’s say I decided not to go home this Christmas. The flight schedule’s still there and the plane will leave from Vancouver to Indonesia anyway. Doesn’t really matter whether I go or not then. The main focus that these organization should have is the industry which contributed lots of carbons to the environment and still don’t pay any carbon taxes… did the government regulate the carbon emissions for the companies here? (because they don’t in Indonesia).
