I'm always interested in what that impact would be compared to industrial impacts for different countries/industries. If it's not used to excuse apathy, correct information can help informing personal action.

most polluting baby is a north american wealthy baby, then just any wealthy baby, then an average american baby. lets adress those first and we can continue fixing from then on
If anybody is willing to maybe photoshop this to add housing footprint onto this chart that would be amazing
Too lazy to photoshop, but the average dutch household produces 2.2 tons of CO2e for heating and 0.8 tons in electricity. The average household is 2.1 people, so call it 1 ton for heating, and .4 tons for electricity.
- So going completely off-grid (VERY hard) will place somewhere around equal to the "Buying green energy" bar (duh...).
- Just solar panels will rank around "Replace car with electric".
- Switching to a heatpump is roughly similar.
