    I think carbon footprint calculations should really include imported carbon. My “electronic device” was manufactured in China. The carbon emitted in its manufacture should follow the product to me, as I am the reason it was manufactured.

    People blaming China and other countries that manufacture a significant amount of products with relatively dirty power are really just shirking the blame. When imported carbon is considered, the US and Canada are the worst polluters per capita.
