"We have calculated the carbon footprint of a Google search (0.2 grams), a
Netflix hour (36 grams), a pint of beer (300 grams), and a transatlantic flight
(1.6 tonnes). We have even calculated the carbon cost of a child (58.6 tonnes,
contested). We have also, in fact, calculated the carbon footprint of the one
billion animals that sleep in our houses, eat from ceramic bowls with their
names on them, and have better healthcare than half the world's population. We
just prefer not to talk about it.
I have two of them. They leave two kinds of footprints: the ones on the kitchen
floor, which are visible and manageable, and the carbon ones, which I have so
far chosen not to look at. Some forms of denial are strategic. This one was
not. This article is the calculation I kept avoiding."
