And emits CO2. No more plastic, less CO2 from production and from the waste. And it’s clearly our major crisis of the century.

- sampo 7y agoSweden (5.1) is very close to the world average (4.9 tCO2/capita/year) in fossil CO2 emissions, so they're doing really well for a developed country. (2017 data from Wikipedia.)
- perfunctory 7y agoThere is a caveat in per country carbon accounting. It doesn't include imported goods, nor shipment of those goods. Having said that, Sweden is indeed doing relatively good compared to other developed countries.
- uhhhhhhh 7y agoImagine how much better they could do without such high emitting activities
- ccozan 7y agoLet me put it that way: CO2 might be mitigated at some point, but plastic in oceans is a lost cause.
- magduf 7y agoYes, it emits CO2, but is that really a problem? If they didn't burn plastic to produce heat and electricity, they'd likely be burning fossil fuel, which is going to emit probably about the same amount of CO2. Is trash burning really offsetting the use of non-carbon energy sources?
