So is 12.7 tonnes of CO2e a lot?
In terms of global annual carbon emissions of ca. 38,000 megatonnes CO2e, 12.7 tonnes might not sound like much (Source: Edgar). But when you consider a population of 68 million people in the UK alone — nearing 8 billion worldwide — all of a sudden individual impact begins to mean something.  

If everyone in the UK reduced their carbon footprint by 100 kgs annually (the same as driving 180 less miles or eating 8 fewer steaks), we’d be 6.8 million tonnes of carbon lighter.

    On average, it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic — 66 days to be exact. And how long it takes a new habit to form can vary widely depending on the behavior, the person, and the circumstances.
