This probably makes more sense in a context where mining and transport was done carbon neutrally. Similar to how switching to an EV doesn't automatically lower

This probably makes more sense in a context where mining and transport was done carbon neutrally. Similar to how switching to an EV doesn't automatically lower your CO2 bill if the electricity you use is dirty but it allows for decentralized improvements (i.e. renewable energy) that roll out without the individual having to do anything.
