- xkekjrktllss 3y agoIt's obviously utter nonsense. No serious and/or somewhat intelligent person could interpret said figure to have any useful meaning or need this explained to them. It's just plain bullshit.
- JLCarveth 3y agoSo I take it you're not a serious or intelligent person if you can't describe what you find "cringe" about a "carbon removed" statistic. Perhaps you should ask yourself why such a simple statistic bothers you so much.
- xkekjrktllss 3y agoNo carbon has been removed from anywhere. It's just made up. It's as simple as that.

They're not saying "hey buy from us and we won't knock down a tree," they're literally pulling carbon from the air via DACs. It's as simple as that.

- CodeWriter23 3y agoMaybe they could seriously claim carbon reduction if they had an optimized logistics network like Amazon. Otherwise they don't really know how merchants handle and deliver their wares.
