[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2839923, member: 63925"] The overall carbon footprint which requires the calculation of ALL carbon inputs is conveniently overlooked, ignored, and even falsified to fit a narrative. The calculation includes the input from mining of minerals, processing and transportation all the way up the product development, manufacturing and transportation. So if you cherry pick the limb from this carbon footprint tree, you can make anything look red and rosy. The total carbon footprint calculation is quite extensive and difficult to quantify but to truly make a bonafide statement of benefit it must be performed down to the lowest calculable point in a product total component manufacturing process. It has to be looked at similar to how EPA looks at hazardous wastes. The generator is responsible for wastes "Cradle to grave". The manufacturer is responsible for total carbon generated "cradle to grave". If this total calculation is performed, the carbon footprint is significantly greater than most stated. [/QUOTE]
