Sorry to see you downvoted friend.

I've been lamenting for a while the sole metric that is being used for environmental impact is "carbon footprint", just so that bureaucrats and companies can have something to measure while appearing to do something.

PFAS and microplastics might be damaging our genetic material, but their very existence if meaningless to the CO2 metric.

A bad metric is worse than no metric at times.
