Hi Alex, Giacomo here from Padova, northern East part of Italy. My CF is 8.3 and we'd need 3.7 planets if everybody was living like me. Given that I don't own a car, I ride to work and try to be as sustainable as possible in my consumptions, it was quite worring to know. Thanks for all your videos! Very inspiring to take action and forward the message. Great work 🙏👍
@@giacomosbalchiero1443 Thanks for sharing Giacomo! This is exactly right and mostly due to the fact that your lifestyle and therefore carbon depend on where you live and the systems you depend upon. You get get to 1 planet just by yourself, we have to do it together as a human society.
You are the voice of the globalist creeps..Ah.. that makes you also a creep ..! There is no greenhouse effect since the sky is not a glass dome ..Alchemists will be prosecuted and tried and jailed for milleniums..Did you get that creep..!?
Good video! I live in Dallas Ft Worth, Texas and recycle everything I can, eat as much natural foods as I can, have personally planted several thousand trees, and am a solar consultant.
My name is Carson and I am also Canadian. My wife and I lived in Edmonton Alberta, Canada. We drove a large pickup truck and ahuge SUV, out home was big with three furnaces. We sold our home and our vehicles, shut down our business and moved to Colombia South America where we have only bicycles, no furnace and no airconditioning as its 23 degrees here every day 365 days a year. We still utilize electricity but here in Colombia its almost 100% hydroelectric. Our food is sourced from a 15 km radius from where we live as that's how they roll down here. We even buy clothing, cookwear and other products that are all made locally. I loved your video and I am excited to see just how much we have reduced our carbon footprint.
Do you feel stupid now that we all know the truth about “carbon footprint” and how it was a giant PR scam by the very oil companies that have polluted the world? Do you feel dumb or regretful? Angry or in denial? What’s it like knowing you believed the lie and then went on to make such drastic and unnecessary life changes?
Sir i prefer small house for living. Thank you for sharing this valuable knowledge. Im from india kerala. I understood the problem i make in this nature and you opened my eyes thank you 😍
How much has the climate changed on earth in 4.5 billion years? Did it change without human footprint, or does the earth constantly change and maybe even adapt?
So here’s the bottom line. According to the IPCC’s own data, man-made CO2 output levels are 3% of 3% of 0.1% of the total Earth’s atmosphere. That’s 0.000009%! That’s 9 millionths.
I am interested to know more about calculating products carbon footprint, we produce materials which contain cement, limestone, silica sand, and other chemicals, the construction products or building materials manufacturing industry still doesn't have alternatives, I mean alternatives to Cement, Steel, Wood and other similar basic materials. Now I need to know for example from supply chain point of view, I am importing X or Y product, I understand I can ask the supplier to provide sustainability report if I am interested to monitor my carbon footprint, but once the products are sold, how can I calculate the carbon footprint of the vessels or trucks shipping them, we have different vessels types (bulkers, oil tankers, container carriers and others) and also different types of trucks as well, we rarely import by air, so I would like to know the logistical carbon footprint particularly, and thank you.
I'll tell you right now quick fix on lessening your carbon footprint and this works and it works great, so just think of what produces most of the CO2 and methane emissions.well it's livestock cows pigs things of that nature animals that we slaughter and treat like crap and put into giant pens and shoulder-to-shoulder terrible situation for these animals so here's the solution everybody stop eating red meat stop eating red meat now so that the ranchers the farm the cattle ranchers and the farmers that produce these animals don't have a market for them,at least in the United States and then they'll stop producing so many animals to terrorize and bring the slaughter stop eating red meat you'll do the planet and all those animals a big favor plus you'll be a lot healthier for it
carbon offsets in theory work, but in actuality, it's a load of rubbish. you are basically paying companies to promise that they are not going to cut down a tree for a certain time. basically just a way for companies to make money under the premise of acting sustainably
They have to be taken into account if you are going to calculate the carbon footprint of the vehicle in production and in use. But you also have to take into account the other environmental impacts of battery production, raw material extraction (lithium, rare earth metals, etc.), chemical products used to extract them, etc.
Thank you so much for making this video:) I am having an assignment about carbon foot print and this video was really helped me in understanding about it..
Hey. I need to calculate the carbon footprint for my employer. I can use the CO2 calculator and gather the data. NP. Is that all I need to calculate the carbon footprint for a business? Is there anything else I would have to do to confirm it's a solid carbon footprint calculation?
I would ask this question to your employer to make sure what they want and probably calculate it with 2 or 3 different calculators to see if there is any discrepancy.
@@learnsustainability My question is more does a person with special training have to complete the carbon footprint or can a regular person like me complete the survey? Do the results have to be certified by any special organization to be viewed as a proper carbon footprint calculation?
@@derickj1 It depends on what you are going to use the results for but generally speaking, someone with the authority within the organization should sign off.
@@learnsustainability Thanks. I have the authority as a Sr VP. My customer is requiring it to be accomplished. Looks like I can complete the survey myself?
Hi, like the video says at 5:57, more financial institutions invest into fossil fuel so your money indirectly generates emissions. There is no reason to feel bad about that, it is only the result of operating in a system where we need energy and the best and most reliable energy so far is in fossil fuels. It will change when we have other alternatives.
Nice presentation. Sir can you give me some details about to know from Web site? And wanted to know just calculator link from Web site. Please give me link
Exactly! But this is a mainstream approved “conspiracy theory”. Actually it’s a giant grift. Potentially the most giant grift of all time of people don’t educate themselves.
Thank you for the information 🙏 do you have a video of how to fill out the GHG form? I work for a small jewelry company. I have no idea how to enter all the information in the form. 🙏
So I heard on the radio today that ordering things online, say through Amazon, adds to our personal carbon footprint, which I agree with due to the delivery of the item plus the production of the item etc...but my question is: Does driving to the mall to purchase the item create more or less of a carbon footprint than ordering online and having it delivered? There would be many variables of course, like how far is the mall? How many parcels are delivered on the same truck as your item? etc...but I am curious to see what anyone would have to say about it.
This is a great question and one that highlights the need for a framework to make decisions. My video on the definition of sustainability ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eec0UYGIeo4.html explains the root causes of un-sustainability and the one on the ABCD method presents ways to approach planning in complex systems ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J10CAkkAHFQ.html. As you mentioned, there are many variables and not one-size-fits-all solution but once you have the tools to think about it, you can start making good decisions for yourself. Maybe you should avoid fast shipping for instance and make sure you drive to the mall only once to get everything you need (and only what you need) and use the most resource efficient vehicle you can to do so, maybe bring a friend with you who needs to go grab something as well...
Your forgot to include the carbon footprint of the items you own/use/replace[ the mining-transport-manufacturing-replacing-recycling...You only mentioned carbon footprint of using these items...
Maybe. The thing about carbon offsets is that they are complicated... Some of them really absorb carbon with natural solutions while others are about reducing or not emitting CO2. The topic would need its own video to be covered properly.
Funny how videos like this leave out so much. What's the carbon deficit of an electric vehicle? How much more carbon has been generated just to get it ready to run on the road? How is half of the population ever going to get out of poverty without a consistent source of energy? This is a nice way to help people feel good about themselves without recognizing the entirety of the problems that come with what is called to solution.
@@learnsustainability I mean to say that there are 17 dental procedure mainly that are performed in a dental clinic, each procedure should have a specific value of carbon emissions with a unit
I am from Lahore, Pakistan and as you know smog is a big problem here due to one of the highest AQI in the World! So this is how I contribute to reducing it.
I am a cynical.... to make batteries you need lithium which is a pain in the arse to find and there basically isn't enough of it for everyone to have an EC. The whole thing is a ball ache. If you forget to charge your phone overnight.... not a big deal, take your charger to work, forget to 'plug' your car in you're fucked! You've got essentially 2 tons of scrap metal on your drive.
Sure! Most batteries are lithium today but many other technologies are being researched and it might not be the case anymore in 10 years from now. I totally agree that EVs have their limitations and that not everybody should start driving one tomorrow. Most grids could not even take it.
Im researching about construction industry carbon footprint calculation..... I reffer that RICS has been introduced carbon footprint concept for the every construction projects as same as Bills of Quantity..
Don't know whether to fight pollution or warming, and they are clearly not the same thing. If you are concerned about warming, should know that at 70%, the main greenhouse gas is water vapor. In that hypothesis, both the excessive warming and the release of greenhouse gases are equivalent in a nuclear plant and a coal plant. On the other hand, the burning of vegetable fuels is neutral in terms of CO2 balance.
So you have also fallen for the lie created by BP, who coined this phrase years ago, while they hide behind, still responsible for the biggest cause of the footprint, pretending to be the good guys. Follow the money, selling credits is the biggest scam as well.
I totally agree that BP created the concept of carbon footprint and this is in the description as I forgot to mention it in the video. This video is intended to explain the concept to people who are new to it and search it on RU-vid or Google.
Green house gases are by nature supposed to be absorbed by trees and plants to grow. It is only because of an imbalance in nature caused by us where we cut down trees and also burn more fossil fuels that we have this problem. This means we really should be growing more trees and plants and not cutting them down as much as possible. We need to be regenerating a healthy eco-system that is more balanced. Our modern way of life living in the cities is unnatural and resource intensive and also unhealthy. We need to look at how our ancestors lived and strive to live simpler lifestyles that is also close to nature.
I think the best way is to have a totalitarian government tell us and track US and our carbon footprint I'm really excited about all of it and maybe we can have a credit score that tells us if we're bad or not and if we have a bad credit score we can't do anything that would be great so all of us that would have a good credit score and good carbon footprint can be happy
I know, right? Too bad he’s spreading one of the biggest lies of all time. I thought everyone knew that carbon footprint was a grift by now. I’m serious. I thought it was common knowledge that it was a giant scam created by the very oil companies who have polluted the planet the most.
Not very different from before. GHG emissions went down 7% in 2019 but they caught up in 2020 to show you that our entire system is at fault.: even when we stay home for a year, we still produce to much GHG.

Hi Alex , Your video is very important to me. However thermal energy has pros and cons. I read that it triggers earthquake because of the digging of the soil; it is location specific. Please tell me what you think.
0.09 metric tons annually here in Florida, US. Idk how accurate that is but it's probably close. I grow most of my fresh foods, bike instead of drive when i can, HVAC is sparse because of a water based cooling system and we basically don't have winter here lol. I didn't even calculate for my native plant guerrilla gardening and convincing local businesses to landscape smarter. 👍🐢🌻
Yes, certainly. The video does not say electric cars are not better, it just says "in countries where a large portion of the electricity is produced from fossil fuels, electric cars have a good chance to produce a fair amount of CO2 as well."
@@learnsustainability, I know. Just sharing something I learnt in additional to what has been shared here with other people. 🙂 Because if I used to interpret it that way when someone else said the same thing.
O mundo sofre. Não adianta ter uma grande economia, enquanto a Terra queima, é hora de parar de ser egoísta e só acusar. The world is suffering. There's no point in having a big economy while the Earth burns. It's time to stop being selfish and just accuse. comente isto em todo vídeo que você ver comment on every video you watch
it is like tuttyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Какая чушь все эти сказки про глобальное потепление. У нас в Питере стоят страшные морозы. В Сибири морозы. Это ж специально пустили для утилизации людей 😂
