    Ok, so I’ve checked. If you want to get 100 kcal from food, for beef it would be 4kg of CO2, for chicken 400g of CO2, rice 400g of CO2. potatoes 50g of CO2.

    To charge a Roomba in US you need 800g of CO2, in Spain 400g, in France 160g, in Australia 1kg, in Poland 1.2kg.

    So as you see, it really depends on what you eat and where you live. In extreme cases yes, just don’t move and let robots do everything, it will produce less CO2. If you live in Poland, broom your apartment, eat one potato more and you’re saving shitload of CO2.

    Carbon footprint of a roomba is around 400kg of CO2. Again, in extreme cases it’s possible to offset that during it’s lifetime.In some cases you’re not offsetting it at all or it will take more than roomba will last. In other cases you’re just adding to it.
