I didn't do the math, but can't imagine that leaving a TV on/off for ~9 hours (guessing that's how long time OP works + transit) has a huge impact on the total carbon footprint from that household, but I might be wrong. Care to show how it's actually "incredibly wasteful for the whole world"?
- rvba 5y agoBCC claims that if everyone was as wasteful as people from USA (carbon footprint), then we would need 4.1 Earths. For Saudis 5.1 https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-33133712 https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-33133712
- capableweb 5y agoYeah, that makes sense. Americans are incredibly wasteful. My claim wasn't that they aren't. My claim is that if some of them leave the TV on VS leaving it on for ~7 hours some days doesn't have a huge impact on the carbon footprint, even less is "incredibly wasteful for the whole world".
