how much carbon dioxide does this supercommute produce, expressed in cars/day?
edit: i guess it's just cars
The commute itself? Hard to say. But according to the article, a billionaire produces emissions equivalent to a million average people.
There are 3,311 billionaires.
Once they are eliminated, that's the emissions of 3.3 billion people taken care of.
I want to know in paper straws per day.
How many bananas for miles travelled.
It's actually difficult to estimate, but there are ways to calculate it. I gave up because I found one part of data expressed in CO2e per mile, another in CO2e per hour, and yet others with CO2 instead of CO2e. If I get into calculating that, I'm going to require funding.
During covid daily carbon dioxide emissions decreased by an average of 8.6%
