  1. Big thanks to @RandomCanuck for finding a CO2 answer!

    This document (epdmroofs.org/wp-content/uploa) says standard 60mil* EPDM roofing membrane embodies 6.93kg of CO2/sqft.

    So 45mil (1.143mm thick) will be 25% less:
    6.93-25% = 5.198 kgCO2/sqft.

    I bought a 70ft x 30ft section.
    So 2100sqft x 5.198 = 10,915.8 kgC02**

    That is equivalent to flying from #YVR to #HKG roundtrip, 13 times. Oooooff. That's a bit of a shocker. 🫢😐

    OK, I guess I have some work to do to offset/capture some carbon in this here little pond/pool! The good news is, it will not feature any fish so I am hopeful that it will be, eventually, a carbon-negative operation as long as I plant it chock-full and periodically remove/sequester the compost to avoid methane emissions from decomposition.

    *WHAT A STUPID MEASUREMENT lol “60mil” = 0.060in or 1.524mm thickness

    ** Holy heck I love the built-in math in the latest macOS/iOS update!!

  3. Just bought a lot of rubber….

    Technically... I guess this is the largest carbon-purchase I've made in a few years, at least since I last flew a long distance. Now I'm curious on the carbon footprint of EPDM rubber materials. I'll have to go googling for the embedded carbon in rubber later.

  5. Jumped on the ferry over to Seacombe last night, to ride round to West Kirby for the start of our #FolkRidingBikes group ride.

    Had forgotten that Queen Mary 2 was visiting, until I got down to the Pier Head.

  7. Slightly damp but fun 22 mile circuit round South Liverpool.

    Took in Camp Hill and bumped (not literally) into Queen Victoria moored at the Pier Head.
