If you don’t have a car and rarely eat red meat, you are doing GREAT 🙌 🙌
Sure, you can drink tap water instead of plastic water. You can switch to Tea. You can travel by train. You can use Linux instead of Windows AI’s crap. Those are great ideas. Also, don’t drive yourself crazy. If you are only an ordinary citizen, remember that perfect is the enemy of good.
Looks slightly off TBH, sources? Nuts being lowest, while Palm oil being quite high. Nuts are efficient, especially when considering caloric value, but I’m pretty sure something like a potato is better per kg. Palm oil AFAIK is a very efficient (most efficient vegetable) oil, might be that the destruction of highly carbon rich forest is factored in there maybe…
indonesian forests are f’uped from all those plantations. brazil/amazon is destroying the amazon for chinese consumption of cows. all these are jungle/tropical area which hold mega biodiversity, many plants are undiscovered, and such, and some are so rare(mycoheterotrophs, parasitic) that they can easily be wiped out.
Idk tree nuts have pretty low c02 impact because they aren’t farmed as intensively I think. Like, trees don’t need as much fertilizer as annual crops. Maybe.
