If you put on a backpack full of all the fuels you needed to get through the day as an average Australian, it would weigh about 20 kilograms. Every day we burn those 20 kilograms of fossil fuels, which turn into 60 kilograms of CO2. In this day and age it is pretty hard to hide dead bodies, yet each of us basically hides a dead body-weight of carbon every day. It is amazing that we’ve hidden this from ourselves for so long . . . something sinister so easily achieved with a few swipes of a credit card and some auto-deposits.
