The Carbon Footprint Paradox: From Bananas to Boeing 747s
Have you ever stood frozen in a supermarket aisle, wondering if your banana purchase might be harming the planet? This seemingly simple question stumped environmental consultant Mike Berners-Lee when a journalist asked him to identify climate-friendly foods during a grocery store tour. The encounter sparked a mission to create a groundbreaking carbon footprint guide that has become essential reading in sustainability circles. Unlike typical environmental manifestos that leave readers feeling guilty or overwhelmed, Berners-Lee's approach is refreshingly practical and even playful. His central premise is both elegant and urgent: we cannot manage what we don't understand. Just as we develop an intuition for financial costs, we need a "carbon instinct" to navigate our climate choices-from text messages to transatlantic flights, from bananas (which are actually quite good) to burgers (not so much).
