Do you have an idea of your share of the embodied energy of all the items you use in the course of your life?

To give you an idea, if you have bought a new laptop and phone, that's around another 3000kWh already.

I have 10 years old pc and bought new phone after 3 years. So 3000+3000/10+3000/3=4300

+products, so it will be 5-6k in total. Still not much.

Excellent. Now do the same for your house, your furniture, your mode of transport, what you do for work...etc etc.
