Fun calculator. A little noisy to make its points, but "You could die right now and Shell could continue operating for 6 seconds longer with the carbon you saved" is a powerful statement.

I wasted so much energy in my most vigorous years trying to make decisions that literally don't matter at all and felt so important. I could have been building skills to influence policy instead, but the sustainability movement was bamboozled pretty hard.



Thank you for the feedback. I'm still looking for the right tone and length since I want it to be factual and understandable yet also as concise as possible. I'll have another look to see if I can improve it.

Makes me think of adding a big quote + Tweet this element to the page. E.g:

    "I could die right now and Shell could continue operating for 6 seconds longer with the carbon I saved" 
- Tweet this

Though maybe a bit too on the nose haha.
