[ColonelCassad] Mania-fantasies of the European "greens" on the topic of reducing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere by reducing consumption.

GREEN EUROPEAN FUTURE
On the topic of the green transition, what awaits those who like to go to rallies and wave flags there: "So, every European who respects the so-called" green agenda "by 2050 must learn to emit no more than 2.9 tons of COâ‚‚ into the atmosphere per year (such a norm To do this, he will have to comply with strict rules.

IN THE FIELD OF NUTRITION AND HYGIENE:
- take a shower no more than 3 times a week, the duration of each of these procedures should not exceed 8 minutes;

- run the washing machine no more than 2 times a week and no more than 1 hour;

- eat chicken meat 2 times a week, 100 grams, which is 10.4 kg per year;

- reduce cheese consumption - no more than 1 time per week, and only 25 grams (1 .3 kg per year);

- but coffee will have to be abandoned completely and forever.

IN THE FIELD OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION, SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT:
- classes on the treadmill in the gym are allowed no more than 3 times a week for 30 minutes each;

- watching TV or using the Internet - 2 hours a day;

- computer/video games will be prohibited. According to various sources, one PC emits 452 kg of COâ‚‚ every year when playing high-intensity rpg shooters and other tank games. Using the PS4 Pro console does not fundamentally solve the problem, because in this case 163 kg of carbon dioxide is released (by one user, of course).

NEW CLOTHES:
- during the year, everyone is allowed to purchase 2 pairs of jeans and 3 shirts.

TRAVELS:
- no more than 1 air flight per year in economy class;

- the total distance traveled per year on electric transport - no more than 5,000 km.

The Treeprint team also advises humanity to stop eating red meat (lamb, beef and pork) altogether. Switching from meat to plant-based diets will have a beneficial effect on the atmosphere: for example, eating a vegetarian bolognese instead of steak fries (beef and potatoes) will lead to a 94% reduction in emissions. And white tea is 87% better for the environment than latte. You will also have to give up beer and stronger drinks."

#2  Watermelons - Green the outside, Red on the inside. Such totalitarian control of individuals lives is the obvious goal.

#1  Except themselves, of course. They will still get to take private jets to environmental conferences on other continents.
