Damn it. You got me. I, a poor, broke college student, am willingly largely responsible for climate change around the globe.
And I would’ve gotten away with it too!
If only there were some sort of method or solution to make transportation more accessible to more people while lowering or negating carbon emissions. Such an invention would be revolutionary.
Anyone have numbers for daily “go to work” commuters?
Maybe they need more public transportation to universities from city centers.
This doesn’t pass the smell test.
The website is ridiculous and the author’s only credentials is that he is an “elearning specialist”
In other words, he is pushing “elearning” and not “environmentalism” or anything remotely resembling science.
I thought the world’s annual carbon emissions were around 40 billion tons. There’s no way college commuting accounts for 1/2000th of global emissions.
Compare it to countries where most students bike or take public transport instead of personal cars (for 85%! WTF USA). Guess what, the problem wasn’t having to move to college, it was that the US has shit transport infrastructure. Not that e-learning is bad, of course, but come on. You reached the least obvious conclussion.
Why even fucking bother checking this when things like the US military are responsible for 5% of global emissions?
Who has time for peasant shaming these days?
Remote learning reduces emissions.
Again, blaming everyone except the polluting industrial factories that produce like 90% of all emissions!
