Environmentalists: Thanksgiving, Christmas Holidays’ Carbon Footprint Bad for Planet

Before you sit down for your Thanksgiving feast or unwrap this year’s gifts tucked under the Christmas tree, environmentalists want you to know that your holiday traditions are contributing to climate change and hurting the planet.

Media reports on this bad news are popping up everywhere online as Turkey Day arrives, including on the Earth Day Network website under the holiday-themed headline: “Don’t let consumerism consume your holiday” and the subhead “It’s (not) a wonderful life:”

One study published in the Journal of Industrial Ecology showed that individual household consumption — not businesses, government or industries — accounts for more than 60 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and 50 percent–80 percent of total land, material and water use.

The problem, researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology reported, lies mostly in the carbon-emitting ways we produce and transport all the stuff (including food) we buy. And when we consider all the new stuff we’re going to buy (and all the additional food we’re going to eat) this holiday, that carbon footprint is only going to grow.

The article directs readers to change behavior to save the planet, including ending online shopping.

“Sure, it’s convenient, but all the packaging and transportation that goes into delivering that gift (next day!) to your doorstep leaves a way bigger carbon footprint than just going to the store yourself.”

But if you have to travel, make it a short trip and use public transportation or car pooling. The article admonishes:

The bottom line is this: We’re in a climate emergency, and emergencies don’t align with business-as-usual habits. In fact, business as usual will throw us deeper into a climate catastrophe.

And don’t forget the Thanksgiving and Christmas feasts, what the Earth Day Network has dubbed a “carbon foodprint,” should be considered – ideally “transitioning to a plant-rich diet.”

The Huffington Post recently warned about the dangers of the Thanksgiving meal and posed the question, “How much damage are we doing with our epic Thanksgiving meal every year?”

According to research done by Carnegie Mellon University, the carbon footprint of a 16-pound turkey creates a total of 34.2 pounds of CO2 — the same amount produced by turkey gravy, cranberry sauce, roasted Brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes, rolled biscuits and apple pie combined. But Paul Fischbeck, who worked on the study and a professor in Carnegie Mellon’s department of Social and Decision Sciences, noted that turkey is better than other meat, such as beef: “Turkeys themselves are pretty efficient in getting them grown.”

Want to get into the nitty gritty? On the hierarchy of vegetables, asparagus and celery produce the highest quantity of CO2 per pound, with 7.33 and 7.09 respectively. They’re still much better for the planet than the turkey, but squash and pumpkin only create 0.10 and 0.11 pounds of CO2 per pound, respectively. So instead of more turkey, help yourself to an extra slice of pumpkin pie or an additional serving of squash soup.

Actual article:

The takeaway? Thanksgiving is a time of gratitude and family for many people. Some simple recommendations for your meal include choosing a smaller turkey or ensuring that fewer ingredients are sourced from great distances. Celebrating with friends and family locally or finding a spot that requires less travel for everyone are a few ways to lessen your impact on the environment while celebrating the holiday.

At least we can agree that Huffpo is a shit source.

You cannot point out one example they provide as being wrong, but ATTACK MESSENGER!1!!1

[Wut]

I don't really give a shit what the extremes on either side say.

[AnalHamster]

I don't really give a shit what the extremes on either side say.

This is an extreme on one side trying to pretend an extreme on the other side said something made up to excite the morons on the first side. The actual article they're reporting on just says yeah enjoy thanksgiving but be aware of the high carbon footprint of some of these associated behaviours and maybe consider mitigating that, if you want to. Which got translated to 'waaah libruls declaring war on thanksgiving and want to rape your mommy'.

The article directs readers to change behavior to save the planet, including ending online shopping.

No one should be discouraged from enjoying the holiday or celebrating with family and friends, but we’re here to provide insight into the ingredients and dishes that have the largest ecological impact.

Yeah, except it doesn't. Kind of the basic point that breitbart is bullshit for idiots that you're illustrating there isn't it.

Misery neither loves nor needs company.

Spudoc is the one who said the article was full of shit sources. Huffpo is one of the sources. Huffpo is an obviously and famously left leaning organization frequently cited by Lefties here. You dont see the humor in that?

When I was growing up, a turkey was a great American bird. Now everyone's saying it's a country in the middle east? Only a matter of time until prayer rugs start showing up at the border.
