Takeaway: If you're working for a tech company with billions of users, your personal CO2 footprint is completely irrelevant. Rather than agonizing over flights vs. trains, beef vs. pork vs. vegan alternatives, heating etc. - find some small thing that you have access to and that you can optimize. That's about 2.2 TWh per year. A decent estimate for average worldwide CO2 intensity of electricity is 400 gCO2e/kWh (that's 400 tons per GWh). A typical personal footprint including some international flights will be in the tens of tons.
