The looming presence of climate change has led many people to ask themselves if there are ways to reduce their personal emissions to help fight the problem. While the entire concept of blaming consumers for the climate crisis was started by British Petroleum in 2004 to shift the blame from corporations to individuals, our daily choices still have an impact on the climate. However, some choices are more carbon-intensive than others. What changes are actually worth making? To answer this loaded question, we now have the ULTIMATE Carbon Footprint Tier List!

Good video, but to be honest, I'm a bit surprised and disappointed that you placed EVs so high compared to other mobility options such as biking and taking public transportation. It is a bit misleading since you only swapped 25% of the car trips for the more sustainable option. Additionally, you didn't considered the larger effects that car-dependency create in cities and in emissions that are not fixed just by switching to EVs.

@PlanetZeroVideos Месяц назад

This is a fair assessment and in retrospect I believe that Tesla could’ve been C tier with standard EVs in B tier. The reason I chose a 25% adjustment is because most people who drive for 100% of their commute would not be able or willing to switch to 100% bus, subway, or biking. If I were to consider the broader impacts of EVs more heavily, it would’ve knocked them down a tier, but I was focused mainly on CO2e mitigation for the tiers. Great critique though, thank you for the comment :)

@icyhex Месяц назад

The reason he used the 25% measurement is because for many people, especially in the United States, replacing large percentages of your commute with sustainable options can be impossible. For instance, I live in Los Angeles, and we do not even have a subway system, and buses are incredibly hard to use consistently. I'm aware this doesn't apply to people globally, but I feel like this is more of a testament to how damaging a car-dependent city can be.

@@PlanetZeroVideos I hate driving cars. Cars shouldn't be used for transportation. They should be put in museums for people to see.

@@philswiftreligioussect9619 What do you mean you don’t like having near death experiences with four ton vehicles on your way to your 9-5??? Are you telling me you’d rather sit in a safer, cheaper, less polluting vehicle that allows you to do things besides focus on the road??? If this was 1960, you’d be on trial for colluding with communists…

Superb video! Very focused, comprehensive, and professional. :)

@christianspanggaard Месяц назад

Very useful content. Many of the points are 1:1 transferable to other countries than the US while others, like the EVs, would be quite different for my neighbors in Norway. The 1 single practice most people are ignorant to, I believe, is clothing consumption. Yes, people know that we should consume less but they don't realize the damage it causes, the amounts of inactive material a wardrobe holds, and the devastating effects landfills of clothes cause. An interesting (and absolutely crazy) fact from the EU is that about 4-9% of all clothes is destroyed before its first wear and that this figure is between 22-43% of all returned clothing bought online. Thanks for the video, its the first one of yours I've seen. I'll have a look at the rest of your collection :)

Another banger video, as usual! I like the sound effects and relevant memes to keep my rotten brain interested. Now we just need some Family Guy clips on the side and I'll be hooked!

Thank you so much :) unfortunately since this video took me 4 months to make, RU-vid stopped recommending my channel during the downtime. If you like the content, it would mean the world to me if you shared it with friends or family you think would find it interesting. I want to reach as many people as possible

Bruh.. why is there PFAS in paper straws?!!

@PlanetZeroVideos Месяц назад

They would turn to pulp about as quickly as a toilet paper tube if there weren’t any holding it together. Paper straws are legitimately worse for everyone than plastic

Nothing will get better if you focus on your own emissions. Nothing will get better unless industrial pollution is eradicated. We will die and you'll say no one tried but people have been trying for a long time and you feel for oil executives carbon footprint advertising
