“Your carbon footprint is a fossil fuel industry marketing scam.

Wikipedia: "A carbon footprint is the total greenhouse gas emissions caused by an individual, event, organization, service, or product, expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent... The term was popularised by a $250 million ad campaign by the oil and gas company BP in an attempt to move public attention away from restricting the activities of fossil fuel companies and onto individual responsibility for solving climate change."

Environmental activism needs to focus on organising to shut down the fossil fuel industry, not get caught up in analysing individual lifestyle choices.”


Bp:

“the first step to reducing your emissions is to know where you stand. Find out your #carbonfootprint with our new calculated & share your pledge today!
