David HoIn the nearly 70 years between 1950 and 2019, the world produced a total of ~9.5 billion tonnes of #plastic.
That's equivalent in weight to the amount of CO₂ we emitted to the atmosphere during the first three months of 2024.
s�d@davidho omg this so much, keep reminding people that the minority of crude oil is used for plastic products and they keep being surprised by that.
co2 per weight is a bit misleading since it's 2/3 Oxygen that was already in the air by weight. (Like to make it comparable to oil based plastics which is ?majority? Per weight in carbon?)
Thanks for your work!
