- blibble 3y agoI wonder how many cubic kilometers of plastic that is
- bombcar 3y ago400 Lego 2x4s makes a kilogram. So let’s say a cool billion kilograms.
- adhesive_wombat 3y agoAnd since Lego essentially never is thrown away (except by spite or accident), that's more or less 1 megaton of carbon capture right there.
- InitialLastName 3y agoI don't think you get to count plastic you produce from extracted sources as carbon capture.
- adhesive_wombat 3y agoAs long as you don't burn it, it's pre-emptive CCS. At least that's what I tell the investors.
- layer8 3y agoSignificantly less than one; probably just roughly a cubic hectometer at most. A cubic kilometer corresponds to about 1.6 x 10^15 1x1 Lego blocks, so over a quadrillion. 600 billion is only 0.6 x 10^12.
- fuzzfactor 3y agoThat's quite a few pieces for every man, woman, and child on the planet.
