Isn’t that quite huge number to be fair?


Compared to a single person's emissions? Yeah sure, but that's because anything multiplied by 8 billion people is going to be huge. The same could be said for plastic bags and/or straws. In relative terms it's absolutely minuscule, and in terms of low hanging fruit it's definitely not the top. You'd be far better off figuring out ways to decarbonize the electricity grid (40%) or the transport system (20%)
