I've been trying to work on things that aren't necessarily economically valuable but that are on my mind and I want to share.
For example, a carbon footprint calculator that pokes fun at the idea of the individual being to blame for climate change. https://a.mancato.nl/climate-calculator https://a.mancato.nl/climate-calculator
And after seeing my dad struggle to find stuff online because he was seeing so many ads, I made an adblocker ad. https://a.mancato.nl/adblock https://a.mancato.nl/adblock
- timelessmanners 2y agoLove it! :-D In the World of opinions, including Data sources adds a really nice touch to it, too.
- nsriv 2y agoThe calculator results page gave me a good dark laugh, thanks for making it! Good writing!
- digging 2y agoFun calculator. A little noisy to make its points, but "You could die right now and Shell could continue operating for 6 seconds longer with the carbon you saved" is a powerful statement. I wasted so much energy in my most vigorous years trying to make decisions that literally don't matter at all and felt so important. I could have been building skills to influence policy instead, but the sustainability movement was bamboozled pretty hard.
- XetiNA 2y agoThank you for the feedback. I'm still looking for the right tone and length since I want it to be factual and understandable yet also as concise as possible. I'll have another look to see if I can improve it. Makes me think of adding a big quote + Tweet this element to the page. E.g: "I could die right now and Shell could continue operating for 6 seconds longer with the carbon I saved" - Tweet this Though maybe a bit too on the nose haha.

- stefandesu 2y agoThe climate calculator is absolute genius! I instantly had to share it with my friends.
