Key Components of A Carbon Diet
A carbon diet is similar to a food diet. It starts with assessing weight (measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide) and then determining where the ideal weight should be. The following outlines the steps of a carbon diet:
- Calculate a carbon footprint to understand the amount of carbon dioxide emissions
- Measure the carbon footprint against peers (e.g., similar company size or for individuals, a national average)
- Determine the ideal carbon footprint
- Identify the source of the most significant carbon dioxide emissions
- Reduce carbon dioxide emissions by starting with the most significant sources first

Yet men have come to such a pass that they frequently starve, not for want of necessaries, but for want of luxuries.”
