Carbon tunnel vision refers to an overly narrow focus on carbon emissions to the exclusion of other significnt environmental concerns. While carbon emissions and their contribution to climate change are undoubtedly of paramount importance, this narrow perspective can lead us to overlook other environmental challenges and solutions.
Why Is This An Issue? 🚫
Biodiversity Loss:
Focusing solely on carbon may mean neglecting habitat preservation, leading to a decline in biodiversity. Creatures from bees to big cats play crucial roles in our ecosystem. Their loss affects us all.
2. Water and Soil Pollution:
Efforts to reduce carbon footprints can sometimes lead to unintended consequences, such as water pollution or soil degradation. For example, manufacturing solar panels or electric car batteries can have environmental costs if not done sustainably.
3. Overconsumption:
The sheer volume of stuff we produce, consume, and discard has vast environmental.
