1h streaming is 0.5g of carbon. Take that by 6h per day x 365. = 1095g per year per person.

Lets assume 2 billion people stream. Thats 2.000.000.000 * 1095 = 2.190.000.000.000

Thats 2.190.000 tons of unnecessary carbondioxide. Piracy is one time, piracy is green, save the planet.

> Take that by 6h per day x 365

You'll need to provide credible sources to support that claim. That assertion seems highly unrealistic.

You are correct: https://www.finder.com/uk/stats-facts/tv-statistics its 4.25 h, so i get its even more with countries with older populations (germany, japan)

What's the carbon cost of what those people would be doing if not "streaming"?
