All products and services have a carbon footprint if we can lower the carbon footprint to use a product that as magic bullet. For instance anything printed has a one time carbon footprint. Each time the printed product is used it's carbon footprint to use goes down. A book first time it is read it's carbon foot print to use is 1 second reading it goes to .5 go to 100 uses and its carbon footprint to uses goes to .01. At the 100th reading the books manufacturing carbon footprint has been spread out to 1% of its original carbon footprint. Now lets go to a computer first time view carbon foot print is 1 second time it is 2, 100th time it is 10,000% of its original carbon footprint. The carbon footprint of multiple views using a computer always goes up and up. Anything printed sequesters carbon period. Paper is a master at carbon sequestering plus it can recycled and REUSED. Computers constantly use power there is no way to get back or recycle anything associated with using it.
So what do you think we should do to have sustainable manufacturing and lower products carbon footprints?
