The EU should label carbon on everything like nutrition facts on food.

The EU should label carbon on everything like nutrition facts on food.
- andrewxdiamond 3y agoSounds nice and simple. But how do you actually calculate those numbers? What’s included? Are subcontractors or third parties counted? What if a single company uses some carbon asset in multiple product lines, is the cost divided up across the product lines based on their production ratio?
- wilg 3y agoThat these kinds of questions are so difficult to answer about whether something is truly green is a great reason to establish international standards and start actually figuring out how to fight carbon emissions across the board.
- cm2187 3y agoNice, what we are missing is more random regulations and bureaucracy. If you take a plane I think it's pretty obvious to anyone you are going to burn some carbon (a bathtub worth of fuel per passenger for a transatlantic flight if I remember). It's like eating Nutella directly off the bottle. The people who don't care won't read it, the ones who care already know.
- MiguelX413 3y agoIrrelevant as the amount of carbon remains far from ovvious.
- wilg 3y agoPerhaps you don't understand the definition of "random"?
