And that’s only the start of it. Think of all your vehicle emissions, and the land needed to sustain your diet!
But you didn’t get a say in your existence. Nobody has to apologize for being alive. And there are plenty of things we can do to minimize the impact and even affect things positively.
I agree with you, but it is an amusing premise - even if it is pretty inaccurate. Here’s some very quick figures.
The majority of the carbon the human body release is from breathing. Evidently it’s about 1 kg of co2 a day or so. All the people on earth combined exhale about 7% of emissions we create from fossil fuels. Even looking at something as small as lawncare, the numbers are super lopsided. Your average lawnmower produces about 40 kg CO2 per hour or use, so if you’re (un?)fortunate enough to live somewhere with a lawn, cutting it will produce more CO2 than you do.

Plus, where is that co2 coming from?
Which begs the question of how it can ever be justified to create a green desert using a gas-powered lawnmower.
