    That seems to put the carbon produced on the buyer of a product, not the company that produced the item. It mentions electricity as one and its not like you choose how your electricity is generated. Others being land use and food production which again you can’t control because large corporations do that, not individuals.

      If there were no buyers, there would be no producers. It is always on buyers.

        And yet it’s easy to stop the production while it’s nearly impossible to stop the consumption.

            It’s nearly impossible to remove people buying something while it’s very easy to stop a company from producing something.

              Lol what? Do you even understand that a company only produces something because people are buying that thing?

                Tobacco companies are selling and advertising vapes for children. Do you think children should just stop smoking or should they not be allowed to do that?
