Question

On average, which gender has a bigger carbon footprint: men or women?

Answer 1

Neither.  There is no such thing.  A "carbon footprint" is something Uncle Al dreamed up when he was trying to find a way to fleece the public.  A carbon footprint is just another avenue to illegal taxation.

Answer 2

i guess it is women because women uses cosmetics which contain a high amount of chemical that could harm the environments . not only that most women work as a house wife(that what i tough of)so the chemical substance they use also can cause a major impact on the earth

Answer 3

Men because the use wayyyy more than women and they like the bigger cars that burn gas faster and they want all the big fancy electronics and gadgets and stuff, but actually it kinda depends on their personality...

Answer 4

Women...think of all the carbon to make and ship in tampax or panty liners...men don't have that problem. What about all the shoes women wear? And all the batteries for their vibrators. And also the curling irons or straightening tongs...and all the carbon used to drive a fat bride to her stupid wedding...men would just as much take the bus!! What about women who can't drive and are always in the wrong gear or get lost and use extra fuel?

Answer 5

I'd guess at men.  Think of all the gadgets in the world that use electricity, they're called boys toys for a reason!

Also, if you consider that the male mid-life crisis generally consists of buying a sports car, that's gotta be bad.

Saying that, mums that do the "school run" often have those big truck like range rovery things....

Answer 6

women i guess
