I love doing these exercises and would also love to see the math behind CO2e if anyone could provide a helpful link.
I’m also thinking about the carbon emissions that go into getting that piece of paper in your hand. The lost carbon capturing capacity of the felled tree, the machinery used to fell, transport and process it, the production of the chemicals used to process the pulp, and finally moving around the finished product. And probably quite a few steps I am missing. Maybe the cars everyone drives to work at the paper plant each day? I’m sure the amortized amount is still small for a tiny piece of paper, but it’s not nothing.
