I don’t understand the concern of this. Let’s say it says you’ve used 1.521kg of CO2 today. How is that actionable?

A single flight from JFK to LAX produces around 20,000kg of CO2. Using the 8.3g value means a flight is equivalent to 2.41 billion tokens.

I really dislike when people don't see this. They try to cut 10 grams of CO2 per day while other industries (shipping, aviation, rails) produce hundreds of tons per day and even this transportation modes are less that 20% with most CO2 produced mainly being in energy production and used by industry.

I think it’s because this line of rationality, leads to people to realize how ridiculous some of the conservation efforts are.

Plastic bags, paper straws (wrapped in plastic), most realities of recycling, vehicle selections, etc.

Leads to a lot of unpopular things.

Sure, but that's all accounted for in per capita numbers.

It doesn't necessarily need to be actionable for now but at the moment there is an exponential growth in the datacenter power usages.

For now, sure it might be ridiculously minor, but when it starts to ramp up who's to say it wont be just a ridiculous amount of energy ? Maybe not even measure the CO2, but I would love to graph the increase of energy spent over time.

Per capita that is what, 500kg?

So on that day you are 10x'ing the US person day

if you take the long view, flying is irrational too

If you have some time, feel free to open a pull request — even just with a description or clarification of what's going on! It all sounds super interesting, but I’m still trying to fully grasp the business logic behind it Once I get the idea, I’ll be happy to jump in and implement it.
