It effectively states what we already know:
- Own a car? Carbon
- Commute to work? Carbon
- Live in a home and need to use heat/AC? Carbon
- Consume more than what is needed to keep you alive? Carbon
- Vacation? Carbon
- Pooped in a toilet? Carbon
Most of the world's population is still dealing with the basic needs of food, clean water, sanitation, and shelter. On a per person basis it is glaringly obvious that the North American life style is not sustainable. Even the European model is carbon intensive and North Americans are far worse.
