Chapter 3: Stuff
From: The Story of Upfront Carbon
$4.50
Some examples of the upfront carbon in everyday objects, from cars to hamburgers to puffer jackets. But it doesn’t end with the object; for example, a single-use disposable coffee cup has its own carbon footprint, but it also created a whole carbon-intensive infrastructure ranging from the drive-through window to the SUV with multiple cupholders. Each item is looked at in terms of the larger societal impact.
