Hi TheyShouldHV this is a quite long post. Some years ago I calculated my ecologic footprint and was a bit confused due to non standards between several calculators when using the same input data. The difference was at average values 1:1.5, in one case 1:2. It was not possible to enter data like "within the last 10 years we have planted about 1000 walnut and apple trees which are growing and thus fix Co2" during their growing phase". Due to our farming work we use a 4 wheel driven car and we make only about 4000 miles a year but it was always calculated as private use only and the calculators did punish us for that. There's no possibility to let calculate the work we put into 6 hektars grass land with some wood to have gotten it in a state maximum ecologic and species-rich. We are annually certified as ecologic producers. Well, if you are interested in some values of footprint calculators, here's my today try. First calculator I used: https://co2.myclimate.org/en/footprint_calculators/new My own data if I would live in UK (I live in Europe but not in UK): Your annual emissions: Your footprint (mobility: 0.6 t, consumption: 4.3 t, household: 0.3 t, public services: 1.2 t) => CO2 amount: 6.5 t My own data of the country where I live: Your annual emissions: Your footprint (mobility: 0.3 t, consumption: 4.3 t, household: 0.3 t, public services: 1.2 t) => CO2 amount: 6.2 t Best choices in UK: Your annual emissions: Your footprint (mobility: 0.3 t, consumption: 3.9 t, household: 0.2 t, public services: 1.2 t) => CO2 amount: 5.6 t Average usage within EU: 8.4 t CO2 Ideal (goal): 0.6 t / year => this means you never have a chance to have a CO2 usage which has a real positiv impact on CO2 balance cause you live in a modern industrial country The next calculators I used: http://ecologicalfootprint.com/ Only 2 choices for living space: in UK or outside of UK, I used both with the same input data: My own data: - living outside UK (I live outside of UK but in Europe) => 1.37 tonnes CO2 => 1.25 global hectares => 0.7 planets (super, isn't it?) - living in UK => 3.65 tonnes CO2 => 3.03 global hectares => 1.7 planets (damn) Best (ideal data) for UK: - living in UK - in a flat - with more than 6 people - vegan - holidays at home => 3.61 tonnes CO2 => 2.43 global hectares => 1.4 planets (damn) => well, living outside of UK seems to be supposed you live in a developing country, and with my own data I would not use more than 1 earth. But you cannot decrease the CO2 balance in a way that really stops climate change when you live in a modern industrial country, you are using always more than 1 earth. Then I searched some calculators for USA. For most of them I would need a ZIP code which I do not have 😀 https://www3.epa.gov/carbon-footprint-calculator/ https://www.nature.org/en-us/get-involved/how-to-help/carbon-footprint-calculator/ https://www.footprintnetwork.org/resources/footprint-calculator/ https://www.carbonfootprint.com/calculator.aspx For the last one I made a try assuming I live in California/USA Here you have to enter detailed values for your usage on power, heating, car, food, meds, and so on... My own result: Your footprint is 7.45 metric tons per year (damn) • The average footprint for people in United States is 15.24 metric tons • The average for the European Union is about 6.8 metric tons (? above it was 8.4 t CO2) • The average worldwide carbon footprint is about 4.79 metric tons • The worldwide target to combat climate change is 0 metric tons I think the only people who met the goal of 0 metric tons are our croaked antivaxxers. Résumé: • the results using the same input data are quite variing with each calculator. • the results using the same input data are quite variing with selected country. • In industrial countries there's no chance to change your lifestyle to a value that you are using only 1 earth. • Even the goal differs with each calculator. • The nicest goal is set from the last USA calculator: 0 metric tons. Nevertheless we all can and should individually reduce CO2 output.

I grew up within a half religious family, means, they went to church once a month but the cult was not part of our daily life. No bible reading but a short prayer before having meal or before sleeping. As child I believed in the old man above in the sky with a long white beard. When I was 9 years old, my father died from a heart attack within some hours. He was my closest family member. Previous to the funeral he was laid out in the little chapel and my family had a certain time alone with him. I went to his right side, hidden to the family, and hold his hand all the time. The fingers were dark. I hold his hand and asked him to please stand up and come home with us. The month and years following were hard for me (and for the rest of the family as well). We missed him so much. He was one of the rare persons that had always a little laughter deep inside his belly. He was the sun in my life. I talked to him daily, I searched him in the streets and I talked to god to give back my father. When quarreling with my mother I wished to escape and to go to him. They had told me that Dad was in heaven with god and I planned to go to heaven as well. But it didn't work. Imagine a little girl all night thinking and planning and struggling with god. Finally, after about 2 years, I decided • that I would not go to heaven cause I could not kill myself, I loved my body • that god was an asshole, a fucking stupid asshole • and that as my sun had left, I would have to learn to be my own sun and to have my own laughter in my belly I kept my decisions and since I was 11 years old I do no more belief in religion.
