Frequently Asked Questions
How is CO2 saved from reducing plastic use calculated?
It multiplies the number of plastic items avoided per week by the average CO2 footprint of producing each item, then scales up to a full year.
What CO2 is saved by cutting from 20 to 5 plastic items a week?
Cutting 15 items a week, at 50 g CO2 per item, saves about 39 kg of CO2 a year.
Why set a goal instead of eliminating plastic entirely?
A gradual, realistic goal is often more sustainable to stick with than an all-or-nothing target, and even partial reduction adds up meaningfully over a year.
