this is the one that you have to take to your neighbors right this is remember how they get to
00:00:19.760
do this is regulatory and financial is that merely taxes i mean we're at the uh at the cusp
00:00:27.500
of digital id and digital currency and oh you are eating too much
00:00:36.600
and you need to eat less to reduce your total emissions
00:00:42.880
okay and i want i want you to know what that means
00:00:49.480
this isn't just any fly-by-night organization remember every city is mapped
00:00:57.440
either in their sister organization or in their organization
00:01:08.160
right or any city councilor who's in toronto would know these commitments
00:01:16.260
would know that food consumption interventions let's see what seven this is seven years six and
00:01:26.060
a half years now what's your progressive target okay for dietary change how are they telling you
00:01:33.100
what to eat through regulatory and financial they're telling you what to eat okay how much
00:01:41.620
meat can you get a year 16 kilograms a year that's just a little bit over one kilogram a month
00:01:50.460
okay how many in the if they really achieve their their goals their c40 goals you go toronto zero
00:02:05.680
zero kilograms you let that sink in this is this is the table that made me wake up at night
00:02:15.900
and plan a garden 90 kilograms of milk or derivative equivalent is that oat milk what's a derivative
00:02:26.820
equivalent right per year or if they really knock it out of the park zero zero dairy consumption
00:02:39.860
or derivatives per year is that soy okay your government your mayors your municipal body
00:02:50.740
it has decided how many kilo cals per person per day kilo calories you're on a diet and the ambitious
00:03:02.980
and the progressive is the same how are they monitoring it right this is their goals if it weren't so
00:03:16.440
friggin pretty this is a communist commune right reduce household waste 50 reduction in household food
00:03:28.040
waste zero because you're starving right you're licking your plate clean or you're feeding your kids
00:03:37.160
and licking their plates clean avoid supply chain waste 75 reduction in supply chain food waste
00:03:48.400
let this one sink in this is their stated goals
00:03:56.020
this one is your clothing and textile they represent four percent of the emissions of c40
00:04:06.800
cities in 2017 all right then here's why you're naked
00:04:12.060
okay so the consumptive consumptive intervention reduce the number of clothing and textile item items
00:04:24.860
a progressive target for six and a half years is that you get eight clothing items per person per year
00:04:34.140
this is what your government has committed to this is what your municipalities are committing to
00:04:41.240
or they're committing and they don't know they're setting up a dystopian future this idea
00:04:51.240
that dystopian future is some kind of orwellian conspiracy theory
00:04:57.520
it's bust they've written out a plan which is dystopian and how are they controlling whether or not
00:05:07.940
you're getting one pair of mitts one pair of underwear and a new pair of slacks or will you go
00:05:14.700
for a winter coat every year in the largest size so you can take it apart and sew it into underwear
00:05:20.820
this is appalling this is just appalling and these are their commitments that they are making under c40
00:05:36.400
how about private transport i know we want to go on but those two the food and clothing like as a mama
00:05:48.540
as a mama four i i feel like going and buying every shoe i think they might need in their lifetime
00:05:55.680
private transport oh they make eight percent of um total emissions
00:06:07.680
okay ownership okay reduce ownership progressive target is 190 vehicles per 1000 people
00:06:22.240
okay so just uh a little under 20 percent of people will be able to have a vehicle
00:06:36.440
nobody nobody gets a private vehicle nobody nobody this is your council your mayor
00:06:53.140
optimum lifetime of a vehicle how many times would you get
00:06:57.800
to buy a vehicle should anyone tell the auto sector should anyone tell for
00:07:03.860
for 20 year lifetime body of the vehicle shelly okay good it's got to last
00:07:21.740
so maybe maybe 190 people in a thousand have a vehicle
00:07:26.640
and they're really old i mean this is cuba this is cuba this is cuba this is communism
00:07:33.840
and well then you know and and and they got to change the material efficiency but who's paying
00:07:41.720
attention to the material efficiency we're paying attention to the zero vehicles
00:07:50.300
and okay you're trapped they've mapped out your travel how'd they do that
00:07:58.040
they've mapped out your travel in your city and it's two percent of global emissions
00:08:07.760
how many flights you get one short haul flight every two years per person
00:08:14.760
or one every three years i guess you won't have a bathing suit to wear there
00:08:23.140
because you've been using your clothing allowance on cold climate items
00:08:35.960
let's hope it packs the same punch so the plane doesn't drop from the sky
00:08:48.840
they you know they've mapped that out three percent
00:08:56.040
and maybe we can get more calories and and clothing so either way you get a new phone every seven years
00:09:07.100
okay so they call these consumptive based emissions
00:09:14.900
we are the consumers they clearly have the idea that they can put us at the end of a joystick
00:09:26.640
and deal with the deal with us in our consumption
