The 870 tonnes of CO2 the E network now produces for yearly operation is equivalent to eating 290000 cheeseburgers, as much as the world eats burgers in one day and one hour.
It’s equal to the calories contained in that many cheeseburgers or expended while eating? Or in making that many cheeseburgers? And are we talking like Big Macs or Whoppers?
I was curious, and redid the math using cars (a unit I can understand). Works out to about 370 cars. That’s equivalent to like… 0.0006 cars per user.

Production. Meat production (factory farming) is the largest CO2 source.
