Am I on the wrong forum here? I thought human beings, along with every other animal on the planet exhales carbon dioxide (CO2) during respiration? I struggle to see the connection between breathing and environmental destruction. My problem isn't with CO2 emissions, but with pollution and waste. I'm not sure how carbon emissions have hijacked pollution as the planet's number one problem, but it seems to me that carbon footprints are the least of our worries. Climate change is happening, it has always been happening, and whether or not it's a bad thing seems to be irrelevant to the conversation for some reason. This Trek report comes across as a waste of effort.
