# [tantek] Does anyone post a personal environmental impact statement on their website somewhere? Like for themselves in total, not just /green_computing or their website itself

# KartikPrabhu I'll take one pound of flesh!
# jgmac1106 this paper was accepted: https://jgregorymcverry.com/festivaloflearningproposal going to try and compare footprint of our camps to major conferences
# jeremycherfas I don't think it is super relevant for their corporate offsetting, the price of which doesn't seem to change with how many people have booked either. I think the only reason one would want to divide flight by number of passengers would be for something like Tantek's personal scoreboard.
# jeremycherfas Agreed. And of course, if Tantek is on the flight, he can just count the passengers. Same as for busses and trains.

# jgmac1106 doug did a microcast by recasting a snippet of Chris Dixon podcast with Andreessen Horowitz https://thoughtshrapnel.com/2020/01/22/microcast-084/ lot of rss talk->then goes crypto
# Loqi [Doug Belshaw] I don’t often listen to the a16z podcast but for some reason I decided to listen to an episode about the past, present, and future of the internet while out for a long walk.

# [davidmead] [tantek] It’s a pity we’ve never got anything to replace Edenbee. I really liked seeing how much my plane trips “cost” in Co2 and creating goals to try and offset it
KempfCreative and [Rose] joined the channel
# [jgmac1106] I would make it easy and just use sold out based on plane size
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Edenbee" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Edenbee is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# [jgmac1106] More probably overstates your footprint but probably a better estimate with error than no estimate at all
# [jgmac1106] Gonna estimate my commute atleast. I fly maybe twice a year so not as important for me to get it perfect
# [jgmac1106] Interesting they draw difference on seat type... Wonder why
# [jgmac1106] There are directions. I guess it is based on cabin weight per passenger... First class passengers take up far more weight wirh bigger seats, champagne bottles, heated towels etc
[Marlin_Forbes] joined the channel
# [tantek] also that "separate cabin impact" reasoning is an excellent reason to always use upgrade coupons instead of actually buying a business class ticket, because you can still count yourself as economy even if you get upgraded (you're just making use of extra stuff that was already on the flight, not because you paid / caused demand for it)

# dazinism Foot printing is somewhat difficult
# dazinism Its hard to know where to draw the line
# dazinism And where its drawn has implications
# dazinism [tantek]: yeah fair
# dazinism > draw it according to agency.
# dazinism Not sure I understand?
mauz555 joined the channel
# dazinism And then there's the whole issue of why track carbon vs. other output/pollution which has effects
# dazinism But I appreciate its probably the best methodology for somewhat quantifying probable environmental impact
simons joined the channel
# dazinism [tantek]: what you disagreeing with?
# dazinism Not sure of anything else that attempts?
# dazinism The meat thing is complex. there's a whole range of reasons land is deforested. Often for plantations
# dazinism Also some methods of rearing animals for consumption can have huge benefits to soil health (and in turn the amount of carbon locked into that soil)
# dazinism Generally the industrialised farming methods, generally used by big landowners / farmers tends to be terrible for the environment in one way or another
# dazinism Somewhat thankfully there are other methods and they are somewhat widely in used. Bit hard to quantify.
# dazinism This report gives an interesting/unusual perspective
# dazinism While many small / sustenance farmers growers wont be using the best methods to foster good soil health, there's reasonable chance that they wont be cultivating as heavily or using as much chemicals as many industrialised farmers do.
# dazinism Sorry for wall of text...

# jgmac1106 yes meat industry is the bad guy, highest impact on 6th mass extinction and and contribute to 20% of greenhouse gas: https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev-environ-020411-130608 and reducing meat is required to save world: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0594-0
KartikPrabhu and [KevinMarks] joined the channel
# [KevinMarks] but it does vary by kind of meat - you don't factory farm sheep and goats, they live on marginal land
# dazinism Yeah think its possibly more granular than that. There can be a big difference depending on how animals are reared, What they are fed. But generally the methods used for meat that can be bought cheap is pretty terrible
# KartikPrabhu -> chat ?
simons joined the channel
# [jgmac1106] we did get chatty though, but it was in the difficulty of quantifying for our sites...my fault for getting off track

# takev[m] GWG_: I was contemplating five star ratings, and how subjective they are. For instance, you and I might both rate something 4 stars, but that may mean something very different to both of us. So I wanted to introduce a map to give context to each level of rating, and possibly put it in my h-card to make the guideline to my particular critical lens easy to reference.
