That's the complaint? That if I make pictures for a few years, let's say on average 1 a day.. it will equal a small errand of carbon?

If anything now I feel LESS guilty about usage.

But 3 billion pictures per week is equivalent to 12.4 million miles or 639.6 million miles extra per year.* It's not about you. There are no 3 billion people each creating one picture per week. Its probably more like 10.000 assholes creating 2.5 billion pictures per week to satisfy some stupid online feed and the other users creating a picture per month on average.

* if we trust the numbers in the other comment

  • I mean that in a big number..

    It equals around 0.004% of actual driven miles if my estimates are right.

    That is with an estimated ~270 billion miles vehicle miles every week (I put commercial in there.. about ~200 billion miles if you only include passenger vehicles.)
