Comment on We changed our roof and cut CO2 emissionsparent

Comments

The biggest energy expenditure and as a result CO2 emission source per person is food?

Do you have a source for this claim?

All I have read until now points to a majority of individual emissions associated with vehicle emissions and Energy usage for Heating/Cooling houses/offices. I am all for a vegetarian lifestyle for animal welfare sake but I feel this focus on Agricultural emissions is misleading or at least misreported.

I think people get confused because of double-counting.

If you move a load of produce in a truck, do the truck emmissions get counted as "transport" or "agriculture"? I guess depending on your angle, you could say either.
